Other claims from this paper (13)
- Intervention effect Kinetin at 6 ppm promoted bud elongation at all stages and light regimes.
- Intervention effect Kinetin at 6 ppm promoted bud dry-weight gain.
- Intervention effect Partial defoliation inhibited early bud growth.
- Intervention effect DCMU treatment inhibited early bud growth.
- Intervention effect Kinetin relieved the early bud growth inhibition associated with reduced assimilate supply.
- Intervention effect TIBA increased bud growth at the first two stages.
- Intervention effect TIBA did not increase bud growth at later stages.
- Intervention effect Kinetin consistently inhibited nodal root growth.
- Mechanism Authors describe bud control as apical dominance after floral initiation and stem elongation.
- Mechanism Authors describe a second control phase as bud release around ear emergence.
- Mechanism Authors suggest auxin and assimilate supply impose bud inhibition.
- Mechanism Authors suggest kinetin promotes buds by mobilizing assimilate flow.
- Mechanism Authors suggest kinetin overcomes leaf-derived inhibition at later stages.
