Abstract
It was found that the previously described temporary elongation of wheat plant leaves, induced by growthdepressing doses of radiation, cannot be considered a true growth of cells but a result of cell expansion which stops immediately after irradiation. The appearance of early developing leaves ln plants irradiated by lighter doses, which only partially depress the growth, is related to a more rapid development of irradiated leaf rudiment. (R.V.J.)
