Abstract
The growth and development of individual pods in plants of oil-seed rape (Brassica napus L.) were followed from anthesis onwards using a soft X-radiation in-vivo technique. Changes in the length and width of pods and in the positions, numbers and sizes of seeds within them were determined quantitatively from X-ray plates and photographs. The technique provides a valuable and as yet unexploited tool for studies of plant development.Keywords
