Abstract: | The entry and exit phases of radioactive indoleacetic acid transportwere investigated in corn coleoptile sections. Compounds capableof inhibiting auxin transport, particularly p-chloromercuribenzoicacid and N-1-naphthylphthalamic acid, were found to only slightlyblock auxin entry but severely suppress auxin exit. An oxygendeficiency had little effect on auxin entry but was found tostrongly inhibit auxin transport and auxin exit. While indoleaceticacid uptake was proportional to concentration, the exit phasebecame apparently saturated at concentrations above 105M. Both entry and exit were found to have temperature coefficientsof about 2 or more. The low sensitivity of auxin entry to inhibitors,or to oxygen deficiency, and the linearity of entry over a wideconcentration range suggest a diffusion component in entry.The strong sensitivity of exit to inhibitors and to oxygen deficiencyconfirms the involvement of active processes in exit, as expectedof a secretion process. 1Present address: Research Division, Ontario Water ResourcesCommission, Toronto, Canada.
