Title

Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Monensin inhibited IAA-induced pea growth, especially in the second hour.
- Intervention effect IAA and FC promoted a rise in labeled glucose incorporation into wall matrix and cellulose after about 60 minutes.
- Intervention effect Monensin inhibited label incorporation and eliminated IAA promotion, while some FC promotion persisted.
- Intervention effect Monensin inhibited cellulose incorporation similarly to matrix incorporation.
- Intervention effect DCB strongly inhibited cellulose synthesis without short-term growth effects.
- Mechanism The findings support dependence of sustained auxin growth on incorporation of new matrix components.
