Analysis of Variability in the Amaranthus Bioassay for Cytokinins: Effects of Water Stress on Benzyladenine- and Fusicoccin-dependent Responses 1

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

The use of only the upper part of the hypocotyl and the cotyledons in the Amaranthus tricolor bioassay for cytokinins, instead of the whole seedling, was found to reduce the endogenous response and give a higher benzyladenine-dependent response. There is no marked difference in the uptake or metabolism of benzyladenine in whole seedlings compared with that in excised cotyledons.
