The variation of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) transport along Lupinus albus L. hypocotyls was studied using decapitated seedlings and excised sections. To confirm that the mobile species was IAA and not IAA metabolites, dual isotope-labeled IAAs, [5-(3)H]IAA + [1-(14)C]IAA, were used. After apical application to decapitated seedlings, the longitudinal distribution of both isotopes at different transport periods showed that the velocity of IAA transport was higher in the apical, elongating region than in the basal, non-growing region. This variation in velocity was not a traumatic consequence of decapitation because after application of IAA to the basal region of decapitated seedlings, both the velocity and intensity of IAA transport were lower than in the apical treatment. The variation in IAA transport down the hypocotyl was confirmed when it was measured in excised sections located at different positions along the hypocotyl. The velocity and, to a greater extent, the intensity of IAA transport decreased from the apical to the basal sections. Consequently, if the amount of IAA reaching the apical zones of lupin hypocotyl were higher than the IAA transport capacity in the basal zones, accumulation of mobile IAA might be expected in zones located above the basal region. In fact, an IAA accumulation occurred in the elongating region during the first 4-h period of transport after apical treatment with IAA. It is proposed that the fall in IAA transport along the hypocotyl might be responsible for the IAA distribution and, consequently, for the growth distribution reported in this organ. An indirect proof of this was obtained from experiments that showed that the excision of the slowly transporting basal zones strongly reduced the growth in the remaining part of the organ, whereas excision of the root caused no significant modification in growth during a 20-h period.
