Abstract:
Following ascorbic‐acid treatment a large number of quiescent centre cells undergo DNA synthesis and, at the same time, the cell proliferation in the entire root meristem of Allium cepa is stimulated. The effects of ascorbic acid on dividing cells in the meristem proper and on the quiescent centre are long‐lasting since they are obtained in both short‐ and long‐term experiments. Whatever the time of treatment with ascorbic acid and whatever the starting size of the quiescent centre (450 or 1000 cells), there is always a minimum number of quiescent centre cells (90‐100) which remain in the G 1 phase.
