The role of auxin in inductive phenomena

W. P. Jacobs1
1 Department of Biology, Princeton University, Princeton, USA

The current status of our knowledge of auxin effects on floral induction is summarized. The most general effect is inhibition, although the concentration of synthetic auxins added to. plants tends to be too high for us to be certain that the inhibitory effects are truly physiological. Studies of endogenous levels of auxin have focused almost entirely on IAA-like bioassay activity. Chemical identifications of endogenous IAA are needed and feasible. In addition, a search for-other auxins involved in vegetative to floral transitions, their chemical identification, and measurement of their changing levels in the plant are urgently needed.
