Relationship between Promotion of Xyloglucan Metabolism and Induction of Elongation by Indoleacetic Acid

Abstract Auxin promotes the liberation of a xlyoglucan polymer from the cell walls of elongating pea (Pisum sativum) stem segments. The released polymer can be isolated from the polysaccharide fraction of the water-soluble portion of tissue homogenates, thus providing as assay for this kind of metabolism.
