Seedlings ofSinapis albawhich were grown in light for 24, 48 and 72 h after 36 h of dark treatment renew elongation when transferred to dark again. The rate of elongation decreases with increased light treatment. The per cent as well as absolute inhibition of elongation by FUDR decreases with the duration of light treatment. The shortening of the hypocotyl is due mainly to the inhibition of cell elongation. The inhibition is not directly proportional to DNA synthesis at any particular time.
