Abstract
IN contrast to vernalized wheat and rye, vernalized unsplit mustard seed does not become devernalized under high temperature1. Experiments were undertaken with mustard T.102 to find out whether (i) embryos excised from dried vernalized unsplit seeds would produce vernalized plants ; and (ii) whether the effects of chilling excised embryos of mustard in different media would be similar to those observed by Gregory and Purvis2 and Purvis3 with embryos of winter rye.
