Abstract
INDOLYL-3-ACETIC acid (IAA) applied to intact plants may induce specific morphogenetic changes, by affecting the differentiation of certain organs in those parts of the plants to which it is transported. The causal relationship between endogenous and applied growth substances and the sex expression of cucumber plants was extensively studied in this laboratory1. The use of radioactive IAA makes possible an accurate determination of the distribution and in vivo degradation of applied IAA. The distribution of IAA-2-14C in monoecious cucumber plants was studied in order to provide data for the correlation of this distribution, with the morphogenetic effects caused by this growth substance.
