Exogeneous application of abscisic acid (ABA) to intact roots of LG 11 maize seedlings inhibits root elongation and induces bending of the root in response to gravity in darkness, even though the roots of these seedlings are not normally positively geotropic in the dark. ABA cannot, however, induce

Zea mays is a salt-sensitive crop species which in saline (< 100 molm 3 NaC1) conditions suffers considerable growth reduction correlated with elevated Na + and C1-concentrations within the leaves. To increase understanding of the regulation of ion uptake and transport by the roots in saline conditi
The positive geotropic responses of the primary roots of Zea mays and Pisum sativum seedlings depend upon at least one growth inhibiting factor which arises in the root cap and which moves basipetally through the apex into the extending zone. The root apex (as distinct from the cap) and the regions
Investigations into the relationship between the light-induced inhibition of root elongation and the response of Zea mays primary roots to gravity have revealed a close similarity between growth-inhibiting factor(s) produced in response to both stimuli. Evidence is presented that the inhibiting fact
The effect of HCO 3 on ion absorption by young corn roots was studied in conditions allowing the independent control of both the pH of uptake solution and the CO2 partial pressure in air bubbled through the solution. The surface pH shift in the vicinity of the outer surface of the plasmalemma induce
Glasshouse experiments were conducted to evaluate the influence of L-TRP in comparison with indole-3-acetamide (IAM), tryptophol (TOL) and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) on the growth of Zea mays L. vat. Early Sunglow. L-TRP (25 to 2.5 z 10 -S mg kg -~ soil), IAM (22 to 2.2 x 10 -5 mg kg soil), TOL (20
