title: The stability of the postulated wall-loosening enzyme in acid-induced growth.
abstract: Long-term pretreatments with cycloheximide (CH) caused inhibition of subsequent acidinduced growth of Avena coleoptile segments, but only after 6 or more h of CH treatment. These results together with previous, published evidence with frozen-thawed tissue are consistent with the hypothesis that there exists a wall-loosening enzyme responsible for acid-induced elongation and that it has a half-life of at least 7-8 h.
