T HE search for an explanation of the interrelationship of cell components with growth has emphasized biochemical aspects of root tissues. The relationship between nucleic acid contents and growth of some higher plants has been reported. Sunderland and McLeish (7) determined total amounts of ribonucleic acid (RNA) and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) per cell in 0-2, 2-4, 4-6, and 6-8 mm. segments from the root apices of six species of higher
