Dr.F went noted that if coleoptile were removed and placed on agar for one hour, the agar would produce a bending when placed on one side of freshly- cut - coleoptile stumps. Of what significance is this experiment ?
It made possible the isolation and exact identification of auxin.
It is the basis for quantitive determination of small amounts of growth -promoting substances.
It supports the hypothesis that IAA is auxin.
It demonstartaed polar movement of auxins.
As learnt
Auxin -
Tryptophan is the precursor of Indole acetic acid (IAA, natural auxin). Important biassay of auxins are Avena curvature test and cross root inhibition test.
