N2  - Successful graft unions between meristematic tissues have been made in apices of the pea, Pisum sativurn L. A technique for preventing desiccation of apices during and after the operations was developed. Apical segments ranging from about 200&micro; down to 50&micro;. in depth were successfully grafted back to their parent plant. The subsequent development of grafted apices was completely normal. These experiments show that a complete shoot can be regenerated from an apical segment less than one-thousandth of a cubic millimetre in volume, containing about 600 cells. This is smaller than any graft previously recorded.
