Extract

The immediate purpose of this research has been:—

1. To investigate whether a presumably spontaneous growth variation amounting to a four-day rhythm which had been observed in certain organs of limited growth was an individual idiosyncrasy or was of general occurrence in plants.

2. To examine the growth rhythm in roots and ascertain if any correlation existed between the respective rhythms of root and shoot in the same plant.
