The Effect of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxy Acetic Acid and Various Other Substances upon the Respiration of Blue Lupine Seedling Roots

Abstract

The outstanding capacity of 2,4-D, the synthetic plant hormone, to control certain phases of plant growth has been known for a number of years (8). Concurrent with growth and exerting some regulating influence upon it is the process of respiration. In this study, the process of respiration as affected by a synthetic hormone, 2,4-D, is considered from the over-all viewpoint of oxygen uptake and carbon dioxide release, as shown in the respiration of excised seedling roots.
