Abstract
SINCE the publication in 1918 of Kraus and Kraybill's fundamental work on the vegetation and reproduction of the tomato, the carbon-nitrogen ratio has been recognised as a factor of prime importance in the growth and reproduction of the plant. Recently some careful work by Phyllis A. Hicks on the carbon-nitrogen ratio in wheat has confirmed and somewhat extended the conclusions of the two American workers referred to above (New Phytologist, vol. 27, No. 1).
