Two Components of Auxin Transport 1

Abstract

The transport of indoleacetic acid-1-14C out of sunflower stem sections has been analyzed by a compartmental analysis procedure in which the radioactivity moving out of the tissue (log per cent) is plotted against time. The analysis indicates that indoleacetic acid is transported via a fast transport system (t½ of about 30 minutes) and a slow transport system (t½ about 10 hours). While we do not know the sources of these two pools, by analogy with ion transport studies, the fast efflux is characteristic of transport from the cytoplasm across the plasmalemma and the slow efflux is characteristic of transport across the tonoplast and thus out of the vacuole. Both components of transport are inhibited by 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid.
