Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Norflurazon markedly reduced root abscisic acid levels.
- Observation Both treated and control roots had normal gravitropic curvature after illumination.
- Intervention effect Norflurazon delayed the rate of root curvature.
- Mechanism The authors infer xanthoxin has a role in maize root gravitropism.
- Mechanism The authors infer xanthoxin and abscisic acid partly arise through different metabolic pathways.
