3). Grovvth of tlie haustorium is due to the outer three or four layers. 



The outermost ]ayer gives rise to epidernial cells, the other layers give 



rise to more meristem, vascular Inuidle cells and spoiigey pareii- 



chyma cells. 

 4). Ferment or epidermal cells in the beginning stages contain no starcli 



grains. 

 5). Cells of the meristem store up starch. 

 6). Later stages of epidermal cells of haustorium contain many starcli 



grains. 

 7). The physiological processes involved in germination can be followed 



by means of such indicators as the zones of the endosperm, the 



ce!) walls, aleuron grains, oil or fat drops, starch grains and cytoplasm.
