Abstract

Lowther and Boll in the study of the effect of 2,4,5-TCPAA on etiolated bean leaf discs observed that inhibition of expansion at low concentrations was relieved at high concentrations where growth was equal to that of the light plus Co control. This means that at appropriate concentrations, TCPAA completely replaced Co in the expansion of light-treated leaf discs. [...]
