Abstract
RECENT years have seen a revival of interest in the apical meristems of plants, but little has been done on the metabolism of these regions. The lack of suitable methods for dealing with small amounts of tissue may be held accountable for this state of affairs ; but the development of paper partition chromatography seems likely to provide a method of first-class importance in metabolic studies of apical meristems, or indeed of any other tissues which are available only in restricted quantity.
