Abstract

Studies %live carried out to determine the direction of indole acetic acid -2- C transport in Cuscuta reflexa Robx. It w as found that C-1AA was predominantly transported in the basipetal direction. This property of auxin transport seems to indicate that the parasite produces its own hormone and is independent of the host in this respect.
