RESUMO

14C-Indoleacetic acid was applied to coleoptiles of corn (Zea mays) and oat (Avena sativa). The coleoptiles were detached from the endosperms at 6-minute intervals after indoleacetic acid application, and the radioactivity was determined in successive 2-millimeter regions. The rate (per cent per minute) of basipetal transport of indoleacetic acid is periodic in various regions of the coleoptile, with a period of about 20 minutes. The possible relation of this cyclic phenomenon to other rhythmic processes of similar periodicities is discussed. A distinct acropetal transport (against the concentration gradient) from the subapical region to the apical 2-millimeter region of the coleoptile was detected.
