It is shown that, in about the last ten years, a significant amount of research has been accomplished. It has been done, moreover, at very little expense, and, as far as is known, with no expenditure whatever of public money. While reference is made especially to the Creation Research Society, it is known that good work has been done outside the Society. No claim is made that this list of research is complete. It is clear, from what is reported here, that Creationist research is a worthwhile activity.
Most land plants have, as one complex feature among others, a conducting system.
The conducting system in plants consists of tubes in the xylem and phloem which are formed during growth by special development of certain cells. The latter includes changes in heat production, blood flow, and evaporative water loss. Both modes of life have advantages and disadvantages. God created all animals equally fit to live in their respecitve niches. It is the purpose of this paper to examine the process by which ordinary cells differentiate from uniform cambium cells into xylem and phloem.
