Abstract

With the improvements in instrumentation and the application of more and more precise chemical and physical methods in the physiological analysis of plants, the uniformity of the experimental material usually becomes the limiting factor in experiments with plants. This aspect of experimental procedure has not received the attention of Botanists it deserves. It has been shortly discussed in Kostyschew-Went (1931) on pp. 301–303.
