Abstract

The present knowledge on plant hormones is summarized in two volumes edited by Letham et al. (1978) and in Vol. 9 of the “Encyclopedia of Plant Physiology”, edited by Macmillan (1980). Trewawas (1981, 1982) in several interesting and stimulating articles pointed out that hormonally controlled growth and developmental processes are regulated more by changes in hormonal sensitivity of the tissue (by changes in the number or affinity of receptors) than by variation in hormone concentration. Burström (1979), considering the overwhelming amount of data and hypotheses on plant growth, tried to formulate some basic questions “in search of a plant growth paradigm”. The modern methods of plant analysis have been critically reviewed by Reeve and Crozier (1980), Yokota et al. (1980), and by Brenner (1981). The advantages and limitations of immunoassays are described by Weiler (1982).
