Abstract

---

The effect of silver nitrate and gibberellic acid on 14C-IAA transport parameters was investigated in coleoptile segments of Zea mays L. Silver nitrate and GA3 enhanced the transport intensity and density without affecting absorption and the velocity. The data has been interpreted to show that these chemicals may influence abscission by increasing the relative hormone concentration at the abscission zone.
