Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Low concentrations of indole-3-acetic acid inhibit the growth of pea root sections by inducing the formation of the growth regulator, ethylene gas. Ethylene is produced within 15 to 30 minutes after indole-3-acetic acid is applied and roots begin to swell immediately after they are exposed to the gas. Carbon dioxide competitively inhibits ethylene action in roots, impedes their geotropic response, and partially reinstates auxin inhibited growth. It is concluded that ethylene participates in the geotropic response of roots, but not that of stems.
