Abstract
THERE is a considerable disagreement in the literature concerning the nature and number of radioactive metabolites which can be isolated from bean plants following exposure to 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) labelled with carbon-14 (refs. 1–6). Because of this situation it was decided to re-investigate this problem in connexion with our work on the induction of callus growth in bean stem sections by 2,4-D (ref. 7).
