Other claims from this paper (14)
- Intervention effect GA stimulated elongation in le peas with a three-hour lag and gradual increase.
- Observation GA and IAA elongation responses were additive.
- Observation GA acted mainly in internodes less than 25% expanded.
- Observation IAA acted in older elongating internodes.
- Mechanism IAA stimulated growth through cell extension.
- Mechanism GA stimulated growth by increasing cell length and cell number.
- Intervention effect Dwarf lkb peas elongated poorly after GA, through increased cell number.
- Intervention effect Dwarf lkb peas responded strongly to IAA.
- Intervention effect GA substantially elongated lkb plants only with IAA present.
- Observation Lkb peas had low IAA levels.
- Mechanism The authors infer that low endogenous auxin suppresses growth in dwarf lkb peas.
- Mechanism GA may enhance auxin-induced cell elongation but cannot promote elongation without auxin.
- Mechanism Auxin and GA control separate processes that together contribute to stem elongation.
- Mechanism Deficiency of either auxin or GA leads to dwarf phenotype.
