title: An improvement of auxin extraction procedure and its application to cultured plant cells.
abstract: The senescent cultured tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) cells, XD6S, when extracted with customary procedure, contained much auxin. The use of new extraction procedure using dichloromethane which does not extract much indolepyruvic acid revealed that the cultured tobacco cells do not contain measurable auxin at any stage of culture.
