Auxins in citrus: a reappraisal.

Photoaffinity-labeled Auxins: Synthesis and Biological Activity.

Two light-sensitive analogs of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, namely 4-azido-2-chlorophenoxyacetic acid and 3-azido-5-chlorophenoxyacetic acid, have been synthesized for use as auxin photoaffinity labels. The preparation and biological activity of the compounds are described. Both contain the photolabile azido group; the 2,4-substituted compound shows auxin activity and the 3,5-substituted com...

The Effect of Auxins on Protoplasmic Streaming. Iii

1. A new method is described which gives a continuous record of the absolute rate of protoplasmic streaming in epidermal cells of the Avena coleoptile. 2. With this method a study was made of the influence of malate and iodoacetate on streaming velocity, in order to make correlations with the previously established effects of these substances on growth and respiration. 3. In the presence of opt...

The Effect of Auxins on Protoplasmic Streaming. Ii

1. A further study has been made of the effect of indole-3-acetic acid (auxin) on protoplasmic streaming in the epidermal cells of the Avena coleoptile. 2. The transient nature of the effect of auxin, both in accelerating and retarding streaming, is due to the temporary exhaustion of carbohydrate from the tissues. In presence of 1 per cent fructose or some other sugars the acceleration or retar...

Enzymatic Conversion of Indole Acetaldehyde and Naphthalene Acetaldehyde to Auxins.

A neutral substance, convertible to an acid auxin, is present in various plant extracts (5, 9) and chemical preparations (9). As indicated by a number of biological tests, the neutral substance is in all likelihood 3-indole acetaldehyde and will for convenience be designated by this name in the present paper. In a previous paper (11) it was shown that 3-indole acetaldehyde is rapidly converted ...
