e0

“The auxin content (extractable and ‘diffusible’ auxin) of non‐sterile corn plants is much more increased by a tryptophan application than the auxin content of sterile plants”

e2

“The epiphytic bacteria settling the shoot surface are responsible for this effect, since in special experiments the rhizosphere was separated from the tryptophan treatment”
