Abstract
Isolated Pisum roots cultivated in vitro contain auxin for at least 3 weeks after the original tip was removed from the germinating seeds. This auxin obtained from roots under sterile conditions was auxin-a. A steep auxin gradient was found in these isolated roots, the highest conc. being found in the tip. Roots after 2 weeks'' cultivation in vitro appear to contain less auxin than did the initial root tips.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
