ABA enhances both the uptake and metabolism of GA in barley half-seeds (Nadeau et al. 1972) with the enhancement of metabolism apparently resulting from enhanced uptake (Stolp et al. 1973). In leaves of potato Solarium andi-gena) ABA causes as much as a 100-fold increase in GA activity (Railton and Wareing 1973 a), while in Solarium tuberosum, sprouts from ethylene-treated tubers contain high levels of GA (Dimalla and Van Staden 1977). In maize shoots ABA causes a reduction in GA (Wareing etal. 1968) while )ff-inhibitor preparations exert a similar effect in apices of birch (Thomas et al. 1965). Auxin causes an increase in the GA content of Chenopodium rubrum (Teltscherova 1970), an effect which may be related to flowering.

This notion seems quite similar to Hooke s except that Willis appears to entertain the notion of a combination by the collision between the sulphureous particles of the combustibles and the nitrous particles of the air. It is interesting to note that Robert Hooke, Dr. Willis, and Robert Boyle were intimate friends and co-workers in Oxford and later in London, and were alike early members of the newly founded Royal Society. Thomas Birch, in his life of Boyle, for instance, referring to the air pump which Boyle made in 1558-1559 and which was perfected by Mr. Robert Hooke, says ...
