Abstract
THE demonstration by Vallance1 of the effect of the stimulant solution on the respiration of Striga seeds is a matter of some importance. Vallance, however, suggests that this effect is independent of that described by Brown, Robinson and Johnson2, who showed that the Striga stimulant may promote extension growth.
