Abstract
Summary: Callus cultures or tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. While Gold and N. glauca‐langsdorffii, a tumour‐forming amphidiploid hybrid) and soybean Glycine max L., cv. Chippewa) were used lo study the effect of glyphosate [N‐(phosphonnmethyl) glycine) un growth and interactions with growth hormones. Glyphosate inhibited growth both in the dark and light but showed a greater toxicity in the dark. This was contrary to its effect on chlorophyll degradation which was accelerated by light. The inhibition of growth was not reversed by simultaneous addition of aromatic amino acids to the medium. Thus the results suggest a multiple glyphosate action. The tobacco callus tissue was more sensitive to glyphosate than the soybean callus tissue, confirming a difference in tolerance between plant species. Despite the inhibitory effect of glyphosate. the treated tissue revived after being transferred to a glyphosate‐free medium. The glyphosate‐induced growth inhibition in soybean and tumour‐forming tobacco callus cultures also was reversible by high levels of indole‐3‐acetic acid (IAA), which itself was inhibitory Theglyphosate‐IAA interaction in the tissues which were sensitive to IAA suggests that the inhibition of growth by glyphosate was related to auxin levels in these tissues.
