The acid-growth theory predicts that a solution with a pH identical to that of the apoplast of auxintreated tissues (4.5-5.0) should induce elongation at a rate comparable to that of auxin. Different pH profiles for elongation have been obtained, however, depending on the type of pretreatment betwee
The carboxylic ionophore, monensin, rapidly induced cell-wall acidification and a decrease in cytosolic pH when added to maize coleoptiles at low external pH and Na Β§ concentration. Elongation growth at rates equivalent to those obtained with indole-3-acetic acid was induced for about 1 h. Stimulati
