Effects of Wounding on Cytokinin Activity in Cucumber Cotyledons
AUTOR(ES)
Crane, Karen E.
RESUMO
Three known physiological responses to exogenous cytokinins were measured in wounded and nonwounded cotyledons from cucumber (Cucumis sativus L. cv Marketer) seedlings grown in darkness. Enhanced cell division, chlorophyll formation, and cotyledon expansion were detected in wounded cotyledons. The data suggest that wounding enhances endogenous cytokinin activity.
