Title | Figures, 'Root-hairs of the pea in process of being infected' by Harry Marshall Ward |
Date | 1889 |
Description | Three figures, labelled A-C, showing the magnified root hairs of a pea plant. Ward describes the figures: 'A, two very young hairs with the germ in the cellulose wall; B, three root-hairs in the same condition. In C the infecting tube has commenced to grow down the root-hair. The latter is distorted at the point of origin of the tube. The beginning of the distortion is apparent in A.'
Annotations in pencil and ink. Includes one page of figures.
Subject: Biology / Cytology / Botany
Prints of these figures were published in volume 46 of the Proceedings of the Royal Society alongside the paper 'On the tubercles on the roots of leguminous plants, with special reference to the pea and the bean'. |
