Abstract
For some years there has been in progress, at the Low Temperature Research Station at Cambridge, a series of researches dealing with the influence of important variables upon the metabolism of plant tissues and organs. These variables are race, age, nutrition and temperature. While these researches are academic in character, they have been planned to explore a field of enquiry in which an advance in our knowledge of general principles appears likely to assist industrial progress. The economic background in the present instance is to be found in modern necessities for the long storage and transport of living plant tissues—the fruits and vegetables of commerce—for consumption as food.
