Abstract
IN experiments designed to explain the activities of 3-indolylacetonitrile recently isolated by Jones, Henbest, Smith and Bentley1 from brussels sprouts, Osborne2 has shown evidence for synergism between this compound and heteroauxin (β-indolylacetic acid). The experiments were carried out on pea tissue, and the degree of curvature of split pea cotyledons measured in accordance with the standard Went pea curvature test3.
