Dynamics and Control of Phloem Loading of Indoleacetic Acid in Seedling Cotyledons of Ricinus Communis During Germination
This study investigates how indoleacetic acid (IAA) is loaded into the phloem of germinating Ricinus communis seedlings, showing it uses both carrier-mediated and diffusive pathways with cotyledon cells acting as an intermediate reservoir.
