H olmsen , T heodore W. (U. Florida, Gainesville.) Pith development in normal and short internode seedlings of Prunus persica var. Lovell. Amer. Jour. Bot. 47 (3): 173—175. Illus. 1960.–Investigation of pith cells of mature (no longer elongating) internodes of normal‐ and short‐internode seedlings of Prunus persica var. ‘Lovell’ indicates that the short internode condition results largely from a suppression of cell division. The pith cells of normal seedlings were found to occur in an irregular fashion. The pith cells of short‐internode seedlings were found to retain the linear order characteristic of the rib meristem. The relationship of these findings to the accepted long‐ and short‐shoot conditions are discussed.
