Abstract

[Introduction] The polar basal transport of the growth substances (auxins, growth hormones) in plants is a well known phenomenon, demonstrated first by Went (1928), and studied in detail by van der Weij (1932, 1934). These investigators used the Avena (oat) coleoptile. That the phenomenon is more or less general is indicated by the polar transport of auxin in roots ( Cholodny, 1934), (Nagao, 1936); in hypocotyls of Raphanus (van Overbeek,1933), Pisum (Skoog,1936); in leaves (Avery,1935); in the Avena coleoptile (Went, 1928), (Laibach and Kornmann,1933), (van der Weij, 1932,1934), and (Skoog,1936); in corn coleoptiles (van Overbeek,1936); in Elaeagnus ( woody cutting) ( van der VVeij, 1933); in stems of Coleus, Vicia, and Phaseolus; and in hypocotyls of Vicia, Phaseolus, and Lupinus (Mai,1934).
