Transport of 11 C‐indoleacetic acid in thallus explants of Marchantia polymorpha was basipetal and localized in midrib tissue. Transport was inhibited by aging, 2,3,5‐triiodobenzoic acid, cinnamic acid, and ethylene. Similarities between these responses and auxin transport in higher plants are considered and morphogenetic potential of the phenomenon in Marchantia identified.
