“…in cress) and at pH 6-8 a definite inhibition of growth sets in and increases progressively with, and roughly proportional to, the logarithm of the concentration. Below this concentration a number of workers claim to have shown small but significant stimulations of growth rate with external heteroauxin concentrations of the order of i part in io^° (Amlong, 1936;Fiedler, 1936;Thimann, 1936;Geiger-Huber & Burlet, 1936;Grace, 1937;Macht & Grumbein, 1937;Weiler, 1938;Borgstrom, 19390). A further complication is introduced by the fact that the pH of the cell sap is probably not the same as that of the surrounding medium, ahhough considerable adjustments of internal pH may take place in response to external conditions (see later, p. 107 and also J.…”
