Abstract
THE communications on the above subject in the columns of NATURE by Prof. Artturi I. Virtanen1,2 and Synnove V. Hausen of the Biochemical Institute, Helsingfors, and by Prof. V. Subrahmanyan and G. S. Siddappa3 of the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, are intensely interesting in that they confirm our earlier work on the effect of live and autoclaved yeast and yeast extracts on the growth of plants.
