The effects of altered endogenous indole-3-acetic (IAA) levels on
elongation in garden pea (Pisum sativum L.) plants were investigated. The
auxin transport inhibitors 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid (TIBA) and
9-hydroxyfluorene-9-carboxylic acid (HFCA) were applied to elongating
internodes of wild-type and mutant lkb plants. The lkb mutant was included
because elongating lkb internodes contained 2- to 3-fold less free IAA than
those of the wild type. In the wild type, TIBA reduced both the IAA level
and internode elongation below the site of application. Both TIBA and HFCA
strongly promoted the elongation of lkb internodes and also raised IAA
levels above the application site. The synthetic auxin
2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) also markedly increased internode
elongation in lkb plants and virtually restored petioles and tendrils to
their wild-type length. In contrast, treatment of wild-type plants with
TIBA, HFCA, or 2,4-D caused little or no increase in elongation above the
application site. The ethylene synthesis inhibitor aminoethoxyvinylglycine
also increased stem elongation in lkb plants, and combined application of
HFCA and aminoethoxy-vinylglycine restored lkb internodes to the wild-type
length. It is concluded that the level of IAA in wild-type internodes is
necessary for normal elongation, and that the reduced stature of lkb plants
is at least partially attributable to a reduction in free IAA level in this
mutant.
