STUDIES IN THE MORPHOGENESIS OF LEAVES: IX. EXPERIMENTS ON LEMNA MINOR WITH ADENINE, TRIIODOBENZOIC ACID AND ULTRA‐VIOLET RADIATION

Department of Botany, University College of Leicester {Received 6 February 1953) (With 6 figures in the text) INTRODUCTION Previous experiments with Lemna minor (Wangermann & Ashby, 1951; Ashby & Wangermann, 1951) led to the tentative hypothesis that there is in the frond a factor A concerned with ageing.
