Abstract
GRAFT-TRANSMISSIBLE flower induction in scions has been demonstrated for many plants, but in the case of scions requiring vernalization has been described only for henbane1,2 and turnip-rape3. Previous attempts to demonstrate this phenomenon in sugar-beet have only been successful when the scion was kept in the dark4.
