Abstract
Bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris L. var. Black Valentine) pretreated with gibberellic acid (hereinafter referred to as GA) absorb and accumulate considerably more N-1-naphthylphthalamic acid (naptalam) than untreated plants. All concentrations of GA from 2.9 × 10−6 to 8.6 × 10−4M were effective; peak influence occurred at 6 × 10−4M. Plants pretreated with this concentration took up 58% more naptalam than untreated plants. When the different parts of the plant were analyzed for naptalam separately, the leaf area (on a per g dry weight basis) was influenced most by GA pretreatment. The leaf area of bean plants pretreated with 2.9 × 10−4M contained 212% more naptalam than the leaf area of untreated plants. The leaf area also included all stem and petiole tissue above and including the first true leaves.
