| Abstract/Contents: | "A genetic dwarf (dd) of Lolium perenne is described. Its effect is to reduce cell elongation in the leaf blade and sheath. As a result, successive leaves on the shoot, instead of increasing in length, as in the normal plant, remain short and broad, and a small dwarf rosette is formed. The rate of leaf appearance on the main shoot is unaffected. Gibberellic acid, at a weekly dose of 1 cc. of a 50 mgm./l. solution per plant, results in increased cell elongation in the leaf blade and sheath, and brings the genetic dwarf within the normal phenotype for both leaf and inflorescence development." |
