Résumé

Les volumes cellulaires et nucléaires de 14 espèces herbacées d'angiosperme ont été mesurés dans les méristèmes apicaux. Pour un accroissement de 100 fois, le volume cellulaire est directement proportionnel au volume nucléaire et, sur une échelle doublement logarithmique, donne une régression linéaire de pente équivalente à +1.
