Abstract

A method is described by which boron deficiency in excised tomato roots was obtained. Lack of boron caused complete inhibition of growth after three days in sterile culture. The boron concentration supporting 50 per cent of the maximum root-growth response is similar to that giving a 50 per cent growth response with intact plants of the same variety. These results are discussed with regard to the function of boron in plant growth.
