Abstract
The effect of light upon plant growth is a problem which has attracted many workers since the discovery of Priestly, in 1771, that a plant could purify fixed air, carbon dioxide, which was followed by the supplementary work of Ingen-Housz and Senebier, who showed that the phenomenon was associated with the nourishment of the plant, and took place only in sunlight and through the agency of the green portions of the plant.Keywords
