of auxin concentration, or of flagellar movement; (5) the strong hint
that there is a parallel in the mechanisms of the different responses in
taxonomically distant groups (e.g., translocated versus local responses);
(6) the principle that the biochemical work done in the response is
greater than the light energy absorbed.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Support of the senior author's work by grants from the National Science Foundation Numbers G182 and G2828, as well as from the Committee on Growth, acting for the American Cancer Society, is gratefully acknowledged. The original work
included in this chapter was done while one of us (George M. Curry) held predoctoral and postdoctoral fellowships from the National Science Foundation. We
wish also to thank Dr. Conrad Yocum, Cornell University, for assistance and advice
during the early stages of some of this work. We are indebted also to Dr. Winfield
Briggs, Stanford University, and Dr. Max Delbriick, California Institute of Technology, for kindly making available to us their extensive unpublished data.
