Plant physiologists have identified four different stages the plant goes through after the apex is removed (Stages I-IV). The four stages are referred to as lateral bud formation, "imposition of inhibition" (apical dominance), initiation of lateral bud outgrowth following decapitation, and; elongation and development of the lateral bud into a ...
Nolen, whom the plant had fired prior to the attack, was shot and wounded by Vaughan Foods chief operating officer Mark Vaughan. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The attack came to national attention due to its gruesome nature, which followed a well-publicized recent series of beheadings carried out by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
Within the 20-year timespan, many scientists have actively contributed to examining and reevaluating Hager's acid-growth hypothesis. Despite the accumulation of observations that evidently identify the final target of the auxin-induced action to be H +-ATPase, which excretes H + protons to the apoplast and take in K + ions through its rectifying K + channel in the following years, the ...
