Effects of chlorosubstituted indoleacetic acids on root growth, ethylene and ATP formation

Abstract: 7‐Chloroindoleacetic acid and dichloroindoleacetic acids with a Cl in the 7 position showed anti‐auxinic activity and promoted root growth in wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv. Diamant II). In contrast, 4‐, 5‐ and 6‐chloroindoleatetic acids acted as strong auxins inhibiting the growth of wheat roots. Flax (Linum usitatissimum L. cv. Concurrent) and cucumber (Cucumis sativus L. cv. Favör) roots showed similar, but less clear‐cut responses. 7‐Chloroindoleacetic acid and 4,7‐dichloroindoleacetic acid alleviated root… Show more

“…In earlier reports, though small increase in ethylene with increasing IAA concentrations (Bucher and Pilet 1983;Stenlid and Engwild 1987). Nevertheless, if inhibition of root elongation by IAA is mediated through ethylene, it should produce similar eVects of ACC on the substrate that leads to increase of ethylene and hence inhibition of root elongation (Eliasson et al 1989) and this could not be observed in this study.…”

“…5-CI-IAA is of moderate activity, whereas 5-Br-IAA is less active (B6ttger, Engvild & Soil, 1978). However, 7-CI-IAA shows anti-auxin activity (Stenlid & Engvild;1987). The role of 4-CI-IAA in the plant is not clear and little is known about its metabolism or the possibility to replace IAA.…”

“…The first known ubiquitously occurring auxin is indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), but various other analogues such as 4-Cl-IAA have also been identified in certain species. This halogenated compound is characterized by very high auxin-like activity (REINECKE et al 1995), demonstrated in the growth of excised tissue (KATEKAR and GEISSLER 1982), rooting in mung bean (STENLID et al 1987), parthenocarpy and epinasty in tomato (SELL et al 1953) and the synthesis/induction of specific enzymes in detached pea cotyledons (HIRASAWA 1989, AHMAD and HAYAT 1999, AHMAD et al 2001a). In addition, acceleration of the rate of photosynthesis resulting in enhancement of the economic yield has also been reported (AHMAD et al 2001b).…”
