Abstract Phenylacetic acid (PAA), a naturally-occurring acidic plant growth substance, was readily taken up by pea (Pisum sativum L. cv. Alderman) stem segments from buffered external solutions by a pH-dependent, non-mediated diffusion. Net uptake from a 0.2 μM solution at pH 4.5 proceeded at a constant rate for at least 60 min and, up to approx. 100 μM, the rate of uptake was directly proportional to the external concentration of the compound. The net rate of uptake of PAA was not affected by the inclusion of indol-3yl-acetic acid (IAA) in the uptake medium (up to approx. 30 μM) and, unlike the net uptake of IAA, was not stimulated by N-1-naphthylphthalamic acid (NPA) or 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid. At an external concentration of 0.2 μM and pH 4.5, the net rate of uptake of PAA was about twice that of IAA. It was concluded that the uptake of PAA did not involve the participation of carriers and that PAA was not a transported substrate for the carriers involved in the uptake and polar transport of IAA. Nevertheless, the inclusion of 3–100 μM unlabelled PAA in the external medium greatly stimulated the uptake by pea stem segments of [1-14C]IAA (external concentration 0.2 μM). It was concluded that whilst PAA was not a transported substrate for the NPA-sensitive IAA efflux carrier, it interacted with this carrier to inhibit IAA efflux from cells. Over the concentration range 3–100 μM, PAA progressively reduced the stimulatory effect of NPA on IAA uptake, indicating that PAA also inhibited carrier-mediated uptake of IAA. The consequences of these observations for the regulation of polar auxin transport are discussed.
