Abstract
Treatment of the primary root of Zea mays L. with the phytotropin 1-(2′-carboxyphenyl)-3-phenylpropane-1, 3-dione (CPD) gave rise to nastic curvature, loss of georesponse, and root growth inhibition. From these results and a histological examination of the root cap, it is suggested that interference with the perception mechanism may not be a factor in the mode of action of CPD. The results may be explained in terms of the known hormone transport inhibiting properties of the phytotropins.This publication has 17 references indexed in Scilit:
