Abstract
SUCCESSFUL transference of the flowering stimulus from, a bolting beet stock to a scion bred for resistance to bolting has been reported previously1. In the work recorded here grafts of similar bolting-resistant scions were made to other species of Beta ready to flower. The plants were grown in a glasshouse where long days (16 h) and controlled temperatures (21°C day, 10°C night) were maintained.
