The gene, however, is elusive since no direct approach is possible: the gene can only be recognized by its effect. These effects may be used either in their final expression - the heritable characters - and then we are in the domain of classical genetics. Or we can try to infer from the final and intermediate steps of gene action what lies at the beginning of this chain. This is the approach of both the biochemist, the embryologist, and the physiologist. The successes of the biochemist in approaching the action of the gene are spectacular, such as in the analysis of biosynthesis in Neurospora.", "date": "1953-08-01", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America", "volume": "39", "number": "8", "publisher": "National Academy of Sciences", "pagerange": "839-848", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:WENpnas53", "issn": "0027-8424", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:WENpnas53", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "doi": "10.1073/pnas.39.8.839", "primary_object": { "basename": "WENpnas53.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/m2vq7-mfd41/files/WENpnas53.pdf" }, "resource_type": "article", "pub_year": "1953", "author_list": "Went, F.

Temperature, along with light, humidity, etc., belongs to the important factors in the environment of plants. It is also an insufficiently appreciated tool for research, for in many cases the processes of growth can be differentiated by their temperature responses. A good example of this fact is the photosynthetic process, in which temperature affects a chemical process at high light intensities and a diffusion process at low light intensities when the photochemical process becomes limiting.", "date": "1953-06", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Annual Review of Plant Physiology", "volume": "4", "publisher": "Annual Reviews", "pagerange": "347-362", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20161130-150702106", "issn": "0066-4294", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20161130-150702106", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "doi": "10.1146/annurev.pp.04.060153.002023", "resource_type": "article", "pub_year": "1953", "author_list": "Went, F.

", "abstract": "The purpose of the work described in this paper was to measure quantitatively the transport of auxin, using a new experimental technique. The original method of measuring the rate of auxin transport required the determination of the amount transported through the tissue to an agar block during a series of time intervals, thus determining the time at which the first auxin arrived (6). Since with the photokymograph (4) the beginning of the curvature can be accurately determined, and since this initial curvature occurs a known time interval after application of auxin to the recording plant, it is possible to determine for each coleoptile when auxin reaches its cut surface. Thus by placing a piece of tissue one-sidedly on a recording plant, and applying auxin to the other end of this tissue, the rate of auxin movement through it can be determined.", "date": "1939-03", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Botanical Gazette", "volume": "100", "number": "3", "publisher": "University of Chicago Press", "pagerange": "465-484", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20200410-105012181", "issn": "0006-8071", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20200410-105012181", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "Works Progress Administration", "grant_number": "165-03-6999, Work Project no. 6330-6989" } ] }, "doi": "10.1086/334804", "primary_object": { "basename": "2471726.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/qwckv-xwq63/files/2471726.pdf" }, "resource_type": "article", "pub_year": "1939", "author_list": "Went, F.

A number of\nsimple tests have been worked out which allow of a qualitative\nand quantitative determination of the growth-promoting properties\nof various substances. With the aid of these biological tests the\nnative growth substances or auxins have been isolated and a\nvariety of other substances have been shown to possess growth\nactivity. At first sight the large number of substances which are\nactive do not appear to fall within any general classification.\nUpon further investigation, however, it becomes clear that there\nare certain common structural characteristics, and an analysis\nof these provides a first step in attacking the fundamental problem\nof the relations between chemical structure and physiological\nactivity. This relation has in recent years been attacked in a\nnumber of other fields, usually involving physiological processes\nin animals. On the other hand, it would appear that plants offer\nan exceptionally favorable field for study in that their structures---\nand possibly their physiological processes-are somewhat less\ncomplicated.
