Step-by-step solution
Charles Darwin and Francis Darwin observed that the coleoptiles of canary grass responded to unilateral illumination by growing towards the light source. F.W. Went isolated auxin from the tips of coleoptiles of oat (Avena) seedlings. E. Kurosawa reported the appearance of symptoms of the bakanae disease in uninfected rice seedlings when they were treated with sterile filtrates of the fungus Gibberella fujikuroi. F. Skoog and his co-workers observed that from the internodal segments of tobacco stems, the callus prol
