Abstract

The influence of IAA in two concentrations (10−8M and 10−5M) on relations between growth, water absorption and cation uptake and accumulation was tested.IAA in a higher concentration retarded growth remarkably. First of all, potassium uptake and water absorption were significantly decreased while the uptake of divalent cations was affected later and less remarkably. 10−8 M IAA accelerated the growth rate slightly together with acceleration of water absorption and cation uptake.
