Extract

Galston and Baker have established that riboflavin is a photoreceptor in the destruction of auxin by visible light by in vivo and in vitro experiments. Carrol showed that riboflavin also reduced the activity of 2,4–dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4–D). He believed that the reduction in activity occurred only in the presence of living plant material. The present studies using corn seedlings confirm the reduction in 2,4–D toxicity by riboflavin when the seedlings and substrate were illuminated. In addition, the inactivation of 2,4–D by riboflavin by light in vitro was also shown.
