Abstract excerpt
We describe here the results of a comparison of the properties of several plant genotypes differing in their reaction to auxins. The hormonal response used to compare the genotypes is the auxin-induced variation of the transplasmalemma electrical potential difference (delta Em) exhibited by protoplasts isolated from leaves or root tips. Using this membrane response, we have shown that large variations in the...
