Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect CCC decreased primary leaf and stem internode growth in dwarf French bean.
- Mechanism CCC probably reduced bean growth by decreasing auxin production through tryptophan–phenolic ester interaction in primary leaves.
- Intervention effect CCC did not change primary leaf gibberellin content.
- Intervention effect CCC delayed primary leaf death, chlorophyll breakdown and the death-associated auxin increase.
- Intervention effect CCC had less effect on leaf disc growth, probably because discs do not produce growth substances.
- Intervention effect Glycine betaine did not affect bean plant growth, growth substance metabolism or primary leaf longevity.
- Intervention effect Glycine betaine inhibited leaf disc growth, probably directly.
