Extract

Sun (2) reported that pith cells in the hypocotyl of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr., variety Monroe) became meristematic and vascular strands developed in the pith after treatment with 2,4–dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4–D). Later (3), he found a retardation in elongation of roots from treatment with 2,4–D. The pericycle produced a mass of dense meristematic tissue extending to the periphery of the root. Even non-conducting cells of the primary phloem of roots became meristematic.
