Colorimetric estimation of indoleacetic acid.
Solon A. Gordon,Robert P. Weber +1 more
TL;DR: During a study of the inactivation of IAA in aqueous solutions, it was frequently necessary to assay at one time many samples where the IAA concentrations were low, or where the degree of significance of small differences in concentrations between experimental unite required evaluation, so it was desirable to re-examine the ferric chloride-sulphuric acid procedure.

Observations on the Quantitative Determination of Indoleacetic Acid

Journal ArticleDOI
Formation of auxin from tryptophan through action of polyphenols
Solon A. Gordon,L. G. Paleg +1 more
TL;DR: The presence of auxin in enzymeless controls, plus experiments on the recovery of added IAA, indicated that the enhancements observed might be caused by a polyphenolic oxidation of tryptophan to IAA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thresholds for georesponse to acceleration in gravity-compensated Avena seedlings.
TL;DR: The magnitude of acceleration required to induce growth responses in Avena seedlings grown in the absence of tropic response to earth gravity has been investigated and a clinostat was developed that imposes accelerations from about 10(-9) g to 3 g upon the seedling; simultaneously, it nullifies, or compensates for, response to the directional component of the gravitational-force vector by rotating the seedlings on a horizontal axis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Red and far-red action on oxidative phosphorylation
Solon A. Gordon,Kenneth Surrey +1 more
TL;DR: Impairment of ATP generation is suggested as the biochemical basis for the far-red potentiation of x-ray-induced chromatid aberrations and the photosensitivity of this phosphorylation suggests its consideration as a metabolic determinart of the photomorphogeneses controlled by red and far- red light.
