Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Went (1928) reported that auxin is transported basipetally, i.e., it moves from apical to basal end. However, McCrea.dy and Jacobs (1963) working on petiole segments of Phaseolus vulgaris observed acropetal movement of auxm but such type of movement occurs very little and directly dependent with the presence of oxygen
Thus, recent studies have indicated that the polar movement of auxin is an active transport
