The auxin induced curvature of citrus petals.
The curvature of citrus petals was studied, using petals implanted in an agar-sucrose medium. Applications of indoleacetic acid and p-chlorophenoxyisobutyric acid and determinations of endogenous auxins indicate that the bending of citrus petals is an auxin-mediated process.
