Abstract

The polar, basipetal transport of indoleacetic acid helps to maintain polarity of auxin movement in coleoptiles of Avena sativa L. by opposing acropetal diffusion. This conclusion is supported by 3 different kinds of experiments. In all 3 experiments, sections took up (14)C carboxyl-labeled indole-3-acetic acid anaerobically, and the distribution of auxin within all sections was similar at the end of uptake.[LIST: see text].
