. The duration of the G 1 period in meristematic cells has been measured directly at two different temperatures by using a synchronous cell population ‘labelled’ as binucleate by treatment with caffeine. By studying the uptake of a radioactive DNA‐precursor, it proved possible to determine the duration of the G 1 period in relation to the total interphase duration, at two temperatures tested, and to demonstrate that the relationship remained constant.
