The thionaphthen�2�, �3-, -5-, -6�, and -7-acetic acids have been synthesized from the chlorides of the corresponding carboxylic acids by the Arndt-Eistert reaction and their plant growth-regulating activities, as indicated by their effects upon protoplasmic streaming, have been compared with those of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4�D). The thionaphthen-3- and -7- acetic acids and IAA have similar effects upon protoplasmic streaming, while the effects of the thionaphthen-2-, -5-, and �6-acetic acids differ from those of IAA and resemble in part those of 2, 4-D.

Growth response of <i>Pinus silvestris</i> hypocotyl sections to some synthetic growth regulators and related substances was studied. Elongation of hypocotyl sections was stimulated by naphtaleneacetic acid, indole-3-acetic acid, in-dole-3-propionic acid, indole-3-butyric acid, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, indoleaoetic amide, indoleacetic nitrile and coumarin. Indole-3-acetic acid and naphtaleneacetic acid extended period of growth up to 16 and 24 hours, respectively. Growth was inhibited by kinetin, trans-cinnamic acid and 2,3,5-tri-iodobenzoic acid. No effect of gibberellic acid, tryptophan and biotin was observed.

Indole-3-acetic acid, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, and maleic hydrazide were applied as foliar sprays to 10-week-old sugarcane plants during initial studies of the interrelationships of growth-regulating materials with the sugar-metabolizing enzymes of sugarcane. Leaf samples were harvested at 1, 3, 9, and 27 days following treatment for sugar and enzyme assays. Sugar analyses were run for total ketoses, sucrose, fructose, and total reducing sugars, with glucose being determined by calculation. A series of acid phosphatase assays were conducted using as substrates the following compounds: ß-glycerophosphate, adenosinetriphosphate, uridine diphosphate glucose, glucose-1-phosphate, glucose-6-phosphate, fructose-6- phosphate, fructose-1,6-diphosphate, and 3-phosphoglyceric acid. Additional enzymes included invertase, amylase, hexokinase, phosphohexose isomerase, aldolase, triosephosphate dehydrogenase, phosphoglyceryl kinase, condensing enzyme, isocitric acid dehydrogenase, transaminase, peroxidase, and glucose oxidase. All enzyme preparations consisted of dialyzed water-soluble protein extracted from freeze-dried leaf tissue and precipitated with ammonium sulfate between 35 and 95 percent of saturation.

High concentrations of four auxins, naphthalene acetic acid, indole 3-acetic acid, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, and indole 3-butyric acid, added to leaf segments of Crassula argentea in agar culture eliminate the strong polarity of the regeneration by inducing the formation of distal plantlets. The auxins also changed the normal wound response by inducing the formation of callus on the cut surfaces. All of the auxins increased the numbers of roots formed and inhibited the number of shoots. Unlike cytokinin, which had no effect on the polarity but altered the developmental sequence of regeneration, none of the auxins had any effect on the normal developmental sequence of regeneration, but did affect the morphology of the newly formed roots. There were differential concentration responses for each of the four auxins.
