Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Benzyladenine or kinetin at 0.5 mM for five days made bean leaves thicker than control plants.
- Intervention effect Benzyladenine or kinetin significantly decreased intercellular air space volume in bean leaves.
- Intervention effect Exposed mesophyll cell surface area per unit leaf surface area was unchanged by treatment.
- Intervention effect Stomata of benzyladenine- or kinetin-treated bean plants were not fully closed in the dark.
- Intervention effect Stomata of treated bean plants opened less widely than controls in the middle of the light period.
- Intervention effect The effects of BA on leaf structure and stomatal action were more pronounced than those of kinetin.
- Intervention effect Observed changes in leaf structure and function did not seem to have an important effect on total leaf diffusion resistance to carbon dioxide.
