Widely distributed genus of annual or perennial and often climbing herbs.
1None of these vbs genes was required for symbiotic N2 fixation on peas or Vicia.
2This movement of the radicle has been described in Brassica, Aesculus, Phaseolus, Vicia, Cucurbita, Quercus and Zea.
3In three of the genera, namely Vicia, Amphicarpaea, and Voandzeia, the cleistogamic flowers are produced on subterranean stems.
4An analogous fact with respect to the sweet excretion from the stipules of Vicia sativa has been already given.
5The tips of 6 vertically dependent radicles were touched once with dry caustic, in the manner described under Vicia faba.
6Lastly, the tips of several radicles of Vicia faba and Phaseolus multiflorus were thickly coated with grease for a length of 3 mm.
7Results of this study proves that biomonitoring with Vicia root micronucleus test is an efficient way to assess the water quality of this river.
8With Vicia faba 19 radicles were cauterised; 12 remained horizontal during 23-24 h.; 6 became slightly and 1 strongly geotropic.
9On the other hand, in the three British species of Lathyrus which I have examined, and in the allied genus Vicia, two nectar-passages are present.
10Vicia hirsuta.-Thisspecies bears the smallest flowers of any British leguminous plant.
11Vicia faba: circumnutation of the same epicotyl as in Fig.
12Vicia faba: tracks left on inclined smoked glass-plates, by tips of radicles in growing downwards.
13Vicia faba: circumnutation of young epicotyl, traced in darkness during 50 hours on a horizontal glass.
14Vicia sativa (Leguminosae).-Protectedand unprotected plants produced an equal number of pods and equally fine seeds.
15Vicia faba.-Radiclesof this plant were extended horizontally either over water or with their lower surfaces just touching it.
16Vicia faba: radicle, rectangularly bent at A, after the amputation of the tip, due to the previous influence of geotropism.
