Differentiation of sieve and tracheary elements was studied in callus culture of Daucus carota L., Syringa vulgaris L., Glycine max (L.) Merr., Helianthus annuus L., Hibiscus cannabinus L. and Pisum sativum L. By the lacmoid clearing technique, development of the phloem commenced before that of the xylem. In no callus was differentiation of tracheary elements observed in the absence of sieve elements. Influence IAA and sucrose was evaluated quantitatively in callus of Syringa, Daucus and Glycine. Low IAA levels resulted in differentiation of sieve elements with no tracheary cells. High levels resulted in both phloem and xylem. IAA controlled the number of sieve and tracheary elements; increase in auxin concentration boosted the number of both cell types. Changes in sucrose concentration while the IAA concentration was kept constant did not have a specific effect on either sieve element differentiation or the ratio between phloem and xylem. Sucrose affected the quantity of callose deposited on the sieve plates; increase in the sucrose concentration resulted in an increase in the amount of callose. Phloem may be formed in response to auxin, while xylem may be formed in response to auxin together with an added factor which is reached from the phloem.
