including a-cellulose. It is concluded that the direct effect of auxin is probably on metabolism of matrix polysacchlar,ides and that the promotion of a-cellulose synthesis is induced by elongation. Fractionation of coleoptile tissue after 1-hour treatment with auxin does not show differences in incorporation as large as are observed after several hours of treatment. However, the data also demonstrate features of internal compartmentation of the tissue that restrict the interpretation of radioisotope experiments of short duration.
