Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Heredity of Acquired Characters in Plants The object of this book is to prove that Evolution - so far as Plants are concerned - depends upon the Inheritance of Acquired Characters. This was Darwin's contention. Dr Weismann and his followers assert that no such characters can ever be hereditary unless the influence of the environment can reach and affect the reproductive organs, or his hypothetical substance "germ-plasm." As all the characters of the vegetative system, or the soma of plants, which are regarded as specific, are acquired long before any reproductive organs exist at all, and therefore before any vegetative cell has begun to assume a reproductive character, Dr Weismann's proviso is inappplicable to plants.
