RESUMO
The hypocotyl hook of the lettuce (Lactuca sativa cv. Grand Rapids) seedling is stimulated to a high degree of curvature through a synergistic interaction of ethylene and gibberellic acid in the light. Presentation of various inorganic salts to the seedlings caused extensive alteration of the hormone-induced curvatures, with ammonium and sulfate being the most stimulatory of curvature, and potassium and carbonate being the most inhibitory of curvature. Experiments using organic buffers indicated that the effect was not a pH response. The abilities of various cations and anions to alter the hormonally regulated curvature is suggested as further evidence of solute alteration of hormonal effectiveness. The interpretation is offered that the solutes may be influencing hormonal effectiveness through salting-in and salting-out effects on macro-molecules such as proteins.
