- Intervention effect Kinetin reduced aerial dry matter and height in tomato plants.
- Intervention effect Kinetin reduced aerial dry matter and height in cucumber plants.
- Intervention effect Kinetin reduced aerial dry matter and height in pea plants.
- Intervention effect Kinetin greatly reduced top to root ratios in peas and tomatoes, approaching unity.
- Intervention effect Kinetin inhibited flowering in tomatoes.
- Intervention effect Kinetin accelerated flowering in peas.
- Intervention effect Kinetin markedly changed root morphology, including pseudonodule formation.
- Intervention effect Kinetin acted opposite to gibberellin on internode elongation, root extension, top to root ratios and flowering in dwarf peas.
- Intervention effect N6-benzyladenine suppressed intact green plant growth more strongly than kinetin.
