Abstract
THE effect of auxins on higher plants has been extensively studied1–3 but their action on algae is not clear. Thimann and Beth4 concluded that while various auxins promoted some aspects of algal growth, there was a wide variation in the effect and the specificity of action was uncertain. They also measured the effect of indole acetic acid and naphthalene acetic acid on the growth of nucleate and enucleate Acetabularia mediterranea. They found that these auxins increased the growth rate but did not affect cap formation in mature cells. Similar effects occurred to a smaller extent in enucleate cells.
