Changes in direction of growth as induced by unilateral auxin application to apple shoots
Abstract
Lanolin paste containing indoleacetic acid, applied unilaterally to the elongating internodes of apple shoot, caused a marked change in its direction of growth. Measurements taken during autumn have shown that the treated internodes were not longer than those of control shoots. There was a short zone a few cm above the treated area with inhibited internodes and small leaves. Possibilities for practical application of the described method exist.
