The opening of the hypocotyl hook in bean seedlings is due to a rapid elongation of cells on the inner side of the hook elbow. Red light promotes hook opening by inducing this cell elongation.Opening is inhibited by low concentrations of indoleacetic acid (IAA) and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,

The transport and metabolism of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) was studied in etiolated lupin (Lupinus albus L, cv. Multolupa) hypocotyls, following application of dual-isotope-labelled indole-3-acetic acid, [5-3H]IAA plus [1-14C]IAA, to decapitated plants. To study the radial distribution of the transp
Solute generation and cell wall synthesis were examined in sunflower hypocotyl peripheral layers, the growth rate of which had been altered by gravistimulation. Measurements of both the concentrations of the major solutes and the osmotic potential showed that although upper cells stopped growing, th
In etiolated seedlings of Raphanus sativus L. the inhibition of hypocotyl elongation by continuous light showed a major bimodal peak of action in the red and far-red, and two minor peaks in the blue regions of the spectrum. It is argued that, under conditions of prolonged irradiation, phytochrome is
