  • Title: Auxin and wall extensibility: reversibility of auxin-induced wall-loosening process.
    Author: Cleland R.
    Journal: Science; 1968 Apr 12; 160(3824):192-4. PubMed ID: 5642571.
    Abstract:
    The reversible nature of the auxin-mediated loosening of the cell wall is shown by the ability of respiratory inhibitors to cause the loss of the auxin-induced increase in wall extensibility without affecting the basal extensibility of the wall. This reversibility makes it unlikely that wall loosening is mediated by enzymes, such as cellulase and beta-glucanase, which degrade polysaccharides, since their action is essentially irreversible.
