Summary

Using carboxyl-14C-labelled IAA as a substrate, it could be demonstrated, that there is a linear relationship between cut surface and IAA destruction inHelianthus hypocotyl tissue. Unhurt tissue, however, destroys auxin also at an appreciable rate. Compared on a fresh weight basis, the epidermis of the hypocotyls oxydizes IAA about 18 times more than the tissue freed of the epidermis.
