e1“The elongation of roots of wheat ( Triticum aestivum L. cv. Diamant II), flax ( Linum usitatissimum L. cv. Concurrent) and cucumber ( Cucumis sativus L. cv. Favör) seedlings in the dark was strongly inhibited by various native and synthetic cytokinins”

Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Various native and synthetic cytokinins strongly inhibited root elongation of wheat seedlings in the dark.
- Intervention effect Various native and synthetic cytokinins strongly inhibited root elongation of flax seedlings in the dark.
- Intervention effect 3 · 10 −9 M zeatin gave 50% inhibition of wheat root elongation.
- Intervention effect 6 · 10 −9 M isopentenyladenine gave 50% inhibition of flax root elongation.
- Intervention effect Cytokinin ribosides were in all cases less inhibitory of root elongation than the parent cytokinins.
- Intervention effect Antiauxins and antiethylenes reversed the inhibition of root elongation by cytokinins.
- Intervention effect Antiauxins and antiethylenes counteract also the inhibitions caused by auxins.
- Mechanism The similar inhibitory effects of auxins and cytokinins may be partly mediated through ethylene.
- Association Auxins and cytokinins stimulate ethylene production synergistically.
