Abstract
The mitotic index in the apical region of the stem of Xanthium seedlings doubled within the 24 hours immediately following a single inductive dark period and an increase occurred within 16 hours in one case. The significance of this finding in relation to the onset of reproductive development is discussed.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
