Polar Auxin Transport: New Support for an Old Model

In 1880, Charles Darwin noted that “some influence,” later shown to be indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), moves from the tip of an oat coleoptile to the region below the tip, where it controls elongation ([Darwin, 1880][1]). Darwin's statement was probably the first description of polar auxin transport
