Abstract
THE present communication summarizes the results of a further study1 of the comparative anatomy of plants raised from vernalized and normal seeds of mustard. The technique used for radicles, shoot apices and stems fifteen days old has been described elsewhere1,2. Stems at the ages of 37, 45 and 56 days, using the method of Wilton and Roberts3, were fixed in formalin-aceto-alcohol, passed through the n-butanol series, embedded in paraffin, sectioned 15–18 µ thick and stained with erythrosin and crystal violet.
