Natural auxin content has been determined in the cambial region of large Pinus silvestris L. trees at various dates during the year. The tissue was collected from the stem of intact or ring-barked trees and from stumps remaining after the trees were cut down at breast height in early summer or late autumn. No seasonal decrease of concentration of the extractable auxin in the cambial region could be detected. Decapitation or ring-barking produced severe reduction in auxin content and arrested cambial division. In the next season the auxin level and the cambial activity remained completely depressed. It is concluded that without tissue continuity in the region external to xylem and without basipetal supply of substances, no mechanism operated by roots or remaining stem tissue near the tree base can ensure a high level of auxin in the cambial region or activate and maintain the cambial division. The activity of extracted pine auxin was found not to be identical with the stimulatory potential of authentic IAA determined by standard bioassays. The possibility of interaction with other extracted substances is discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
