It has recently been shown by Robbins1 that excised seedling root tips about 1 cm. in length, when planted in flasks of sterile liquid or agar media, grow to a limited extent to form organized root tissue with secondary and tertiary root branches. It is interesting to note that no one has observed a tendency for these plant cells to separate as animal ...
