Abstract
The growth of sections of Avena coleoptiles in solutions of the cell-elongation hormone is described. The elongation of the sections is inhibited by lack of oxygen as well as by KCN and phenyl-urethane. The growth hormone increased the respiration of the coleoptile sections by as much as 27%. The respiration is inhibited by the same concentrations of KCN and phenyl-urethane as affect the elongation. A close connection between cell elongation and respiration seems probable.Keywords
