(B) The two nondecarboxylation routes of IAA oxida tive degradation, A and B, are the most common metabolic pathways. (After Tuominen et al. 1994.)

(Left) Many adventitious roots developed on a honeysuckle(Lonicera fragrantissima) cutting placed in a solution with a high concentration of synthetic auxin. (Middle) Fewer roots developed in a lower auxin concentration .(Right)The cutting placed in water(no auxin) served as a control and did not form roots in the same time period.

The resulting acidity causes the cell wall to weaken, and the electrochemical gradient causes solutes to enter the cell. Water follows by osmosis and the cell elongates Figure 8-10-2
