Position as a Factor in Growth and Development Effects

  • Chapter
Hormonal Regulation of Development III

Part of the book series: Encyclopedia of Plant Physiology ((PLANT,volume 11))

Abstract

When reviewing the subject of this chapter recently, Raven and Rubery (1982) discussed mechanisms of hormone transfer across membranes, the mode of action of receptors and hormone transport. On the latter question, they proposed that while vascular transport of hormones may conduct “temporal” information, transfer of “positional” information must be confined to the polar auxin transport system.
