Abstract
The existence of plant "wound hormones" has been recognized since the formulation of the wound hormone concept by Wiesner (1) and the demonstration by Haberlandt (2) of the diffusible nature of the active principles. It was shown by these early investigators that there are formed or liberated at injured surfaces of plant tissues water-soluble substances which are capable of evoking renewed growth activity in mature uninjured cells or tissues. In the present paper the isolation from plant material of a crystalline substance possessing typical "wound hormone" activity will be described.
