Journal ArticleDOI

Primary, preventive and permissive roles of hormones in plant systems

TL;DR: It is explained for the first time that seed dormancy can occur not only in presence of inhibitors as was generally believed but in many cases in absence or presence of promotors such as gibberellins or cytokinins.
Journal ArticleDOI

An Improved Bioassay for Cytokinins Using Cucumber Cotyledons

TL;DR: Of the four cytokinins tested, kinetin appeared to be the least active and the assay is 10 times more sensitive than is the previously described cucumber cotyledon greening bioassay for cytokinin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of light quality on apical dominance in Xanthium strumarium and the associated changes in endogenous levels of abscisic acid and cytokinins.

TL;DR: Apical dominance in Xanthium strumarium was influenced by the quality of illumination received at the end of the photoperiod, and the involvement of the red/far-red regions of the spectrum was apparent.
Journal ArticleDOI

Retardation of leaf senescence by benzyladenine in intact bean plants.

TL;DR: Benzyladenine applied to primary leaves of intact bean plants delayed the senescence of both the leaves and the entire shoot, and the levels of incorporation of labelled precursors into protein and RNA were enhanced.
Journal ArticleDOI

Photosynthate partitioning and nodule formation in soybean plants that received red or far‐red light at the end of the photosynthetic period

TL;DR: Phytochrome effects on photosynthate partitioning between tops and roots may influence yield of soybean plants grown in soils with low water-holding capacity.
