title: Auxin Uptake and the Rapid Auxin-Induced Growth in Isolated Sections of Helianthus annuus.
abstract: When a sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) hypocotyl section is placed in a solution of 10 micromolar 1-naphthylacetic acid, the majority of the auxin enters via the cut surfaces. However, it is the minority entering radially which causes the typical growth response. Auxin supplied only to the apical cut surface gives a weak, slower response.
