HORMONAL REGULATION OF PLANT CELL GROWTH 211 



of short duration, with and without auxin, suggest tliat the promo- 

 tive effect of auxin is not directlv on a process acting on tlie cell wall 

 but is on some aspect of metabolism \N'ithin the cell, which indirectly 

 influences the rate of a process acting on the cell wall.
