Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Vitamin E suppressed wild carrot somatic embryogenesis with little biomass effect.
- Observation Endogenous AA was lower during embryo development than cell proliferation.
- Observation GSSG reductase activity was higher in proliferating than developing cultures.
- Observation Dehydroascorbate reductase activity did not differ between cultures.
- Association GSH and AA concentrations were governed by 2,4-D.
- Mechanism Redox status was interpreted as a determinant of proliferative versus developmental growth.
- Mechanism The authors propose that 2,4-D may act partly through endogenous antioxidant levels.
