Abstract

Removal of 2 mm of the primary root tip of Pisum sativum caused a complete halt to primary root elongation, but did not alter the total number of laterals formed. The auxins indole-3-acetic acid and 1-naphthaleneacetic acid, when applied to the stump in a lanolin emulsion, increased the number of lateral roots. High levels of abscisic acid and low levels of the cytokinins N6-benzylaminopurine and N6-(γ, γ-dimethylallylamino)purine, and of the gibberellins GA3 and GA7, resulted in decreased lateral root production. Kinetin was without effect. There appears to be an inverse relationship between auxins and cytokinins in root/shoot growth coordination. Auxins, which are produced in the shoot tip, inhibit lateral bud growth but promote lateral root initiation. Cytokinins, which are produced in the root tip, inhibit lateral root initiation, but promote lateral stem growth.
