Abstract
Normal shoots appear upon Griffithsia cells at the point where heavier substances are concentrated by prolonged low speed centrifuging. In this way reversal of polarity may be produced anywhere along the plant axis. The possibility is suggested that the centrifuged substances are not directly determinative but act by stimulation.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
