The contribution of roots to the biology of the whole plant is being reevaluated in the light of classical and recent findings. In addition to their role in water and nutrient uptake and in symbiotic associations, plant roots also synthesize a remarkable variety of secondary metabolites. These chemi
The anti-auxin 4-chlorophenoxyisobutyric acid (PCIB) applied at a concentration of l0 -2 tool m -3 to maize root segments was found to induce a transmembrane electrical potential of up to -130 mV (Apd of 30 mV). The kinetics of this response were Comparable to the time scale for PCIB-stimulated H+-e
