Investigations on the Mechanism of the Brassinosteroid Response

I. Indole-3-acetic Acid Metabolism and Transport

United States Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, Beltsville, Maryland 20705, Plant Hormone Laboratory, Beltsville Agricultural Research Center-West, Beltsville, Maryland 20705

A brassinosteroid treatment of light-grown first internode sections of Phaseolus vulgaris results in an increased bending response following unilateral indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) application. Reverse isotope dilution analysis shows that this increased response is not due to an increase in the concentration of applied IAA in the tissue or a change in the amount of IAA conjugated. Treatment with the brassinosteroid also does not affect the rate of IAA transport as measured using the agar block method. These results indicate that even though brassinosteroid potentiates auxin action, it does not have a direct effect on IAA uptake, metabolism, or cell to cell transport.
