Sinopsis

Excerpt from Studies in Heredity As: Illustrated by the Trichomes, of Species and Hybrids of Juglans, Oenothera, Papaver, and Solanum

The material for study of all hybrids procured from Mr. Burbank was either collected by the writer and fixed in the usual manner, or was put up by Dr. G. H. Shull in weak formaldehyde. To both Of these gentlemen thanks are due for the preparation Of material, and to Mr. Burbank, who SO generously gives both his plants and his time for the forwarding Of the study of plant hybrids, acknowledgment is especially and gratefully made. Acknowledgment Should also be made to the directors Of Hopkins Seaside Laboratory, Pacific Grove, California, for the use Of a research-room dur ing the summer Of 1907, and to the Carmel Development Company, Carmel bv-the-sea, California, who provided a laboratory which was used during the summer, 1908.

Excerpt from Studies in Heredity As: Illustrated by the Trichomes, of Species and Hybrids of Juglans, Oenothera, Papaver, and Solanum

In investigating the structural features Of plants two or more methods Of approach, each especially adapted to the particular aim Of the study. Whatever it may be, may be employed. The entire anatomy Of a few forms may be worked up, and appropriate comparisons instituted, or, on the other hand, special features Of the plant's structure, such as the trichomes, may be minutely studied, both in the mature state and in embryonic condition, in a relatively large number Of individuals as well as great variety Of species. Although the former method has hitherto been the one chiefly employed in anatomical studies on plant hybrids, it seems appropriate, in View Of the present tendency to regard a plant as a complex Of more or less inde pendent units, to institute the more special study. Whatever theories may be held, this manner of studying structures in plants, as in animals has long been found, has several advantages. It permits, in the first place, as suggested above, an examination into the behavior Of the particular organ, or tissue, in a much larger number of plants than might otherwise be practicable, as, in the present instance, the trichomes Of some 20 differ ent kinds Of plants, and many more individuals, have been passed under Observation. It also favors an investigation into the variation Of the par ticular structure, as well as into the relation Of the variation to the organic and the physical environment Of the tissue as possible causal factors Of variation. Also, not only the mature structures, but the embryonic stages likewise, may be studied and compared, so that developmental stages may easily be contrasted. And, in favorable material, the possible origin Of the structures may either be traced, or at least strongly surmised. And, finally, what is particularly important in a study on heredity, the behavior Of the same structure may be advantageously Observed throughout differ ent generations. For these and other reasons the particular rather than the more general method of the study Of the anatomy of the hybrids has been adopted in the present investigation.
