Further Observations on the Telemorphic Effects of Certain Growth- Regulating Substances

Abstract

The effects resulting from the application of 5 substituted phenoxy compounds in both carbowax 1500 and lanolin to the sweet pea, African marigold and Red Kidney bean. In addition, 5 other substances were applied to the bean in both carriers, but of these only B-naphthoxyacetic in carbowax resulted in striking effects. The data indicate that the effectiveness of the carrier depends upon the growth substance employed. In these expts., greater growth responses and form changes resulted, on the whole, when carbowax was the carrier, although with some substances the responses were essentially equal with both carriers, and with one substance (4-chloro-phenoxyacetic acid) the responses were much greater when lanolin was the carrier.
