The quantities of endogenous indol-3yl-acetic acid (IAA) in endosperms and scutella of 6-day-old maize seedlings (Zea mays L. cv Giant White Horsetooth) were determined by a fluorimetric method. Endosperms were found to contain 33.4 nanograms IAA per plant, and scutella 7.5 nanograms IAA per plant. [5-(3)H]IAA applied to endosperms of 6-day-old seedlings moved into the roots and radioactivity accumulated at the apex of the primary root within 8 hours. Two to 7-day-old seedlings were treated simultaneously with [5-(3)H]IAA in the endosperm and [2-(14)C] IAA on the shoot apex. The patterns of transport into the root were found to change during ontogeny: in successively older plants, transport from the shoot into the roots increased relative to transport from the endosperm into the roots. The auxin required for the growth of maize roots could, therefore, partially be contributed by the shoot and endosperm. Ontogenetic changes in the relative importance of these two supplies could be of significance for the integration of growth and development between shoot and root.
