Cytokinins and Their Relation to Other Phytohormones

David S. Letham
- 01 Apr 1969 - 
TL;DR: Plants appear to be almost entirely dependent on hormone-based mechanisms for co-operation with animals, and the concept of a hormonal control of many phases of plant growth is proposed.

The Effect of Potassium on Cotyledon Expansion Induced by Cytokinins

TL;DR: In this paper, a cucumber cotyledon was found to enhance greatly the expansion response of cucumber COTYledons to cytokinins, when incubated in 40 mM KCI and 10 mM CaCI2 with 10 mg/I 6-benzylamino-purine.

Sodium and Potassium Absorption by Bean Stem Tissue

TL;DR: Benzyladenine, an analog of kinetin, suppressed the formation of K-absorbing capability in aged tissue but did not prevent the loss of Na absorption capacity, suggesting alteration in ion-specificity of transport mechanisms.

Cytokinin and inhibitor activities in the avocado fruit mesocarp.

TL;DR: The reduction in fruit growth rate may be considered to be due to the diminution of bound cytokinin activity and (or) increased activity of an endogenous inhibitor, and the intensity of inhibition was found to be positively correlated with reduction in the rate of mesocarp growth.
