Auxin-induced Growth of Tuber Tissue of Jerusalem Artichoke I

Yoshio MASUDA Shokubutsugaku Zasshi 1965. doi:10.15281/jplantres1887.78.417

Other claims from this paper (8)

Intervention effect 2,4-D plus kinetin caused remarkable growth of tuber slices, more than 2,4-D alone.
Intervention effect 2,4-D alone caused less remarkable growth of tuber slices than 2,4-D plus kinetin.
Intervention effect Kinetin alone caused no appreciable growth of tuber slices.
Intervention effect Pre-washing the slices in water for 15 to 20 hours increased the growth caused by 2,4-D with or without kinetin.
Intervention effect Washing the slices in gibberellic acid solution was more effective for growth than washing in water.
Observation Inulin in the cells disappeared during 50 hours of growth of the tissue slices.
Mechanism Growth promotion by gibberellic acid and kinetin does not seem to be due to enhanced auxin absorption by the tissue.
Observation The osmotic value of the cells did not change during washing or during expansion growth.
