How did Went came to know about auxin?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Went interpreted these experiments as showing that the coleoptile tip exerted it's effect by means of chemical stimulus rather than a physical stimulus such as an electrical impulse.
This chemical stimulus came to be known as auxin. In this way the first plant hormone auxin was discovered by F.W. Went.
