Ssm. Naqvi et al., INFLUENCE OF SILVER-NITRATE AND GIBBERELLIC-ACID ON THE TRANSPORT OF C-14 INDOLEACETIC-ACID IN ZEA-MAYS L, Pakistan journal of botany, 27(2), 1995, pp. 271-274
The effect of silver nitrate and gibberellic acid on C-14-IAA transpor
t parameters was investigated in coleoptile segments of Zea mays L. Si
lver nitrate and GA(3) enhanced the transport intensity and density wi
thout affecting absorption and the velocity. The data has been interpr
eted to show that these chemicals may influence abscission by increasi
ng the relative hormone concentration at the abscission zone.
