| Abstract: | Changes in abscisic acid-like inhibitors and cytokinins were studied during dry storage after ripening of dormant peanut seeds. Decrease in ABA-like inhibitors and increase in cytokinin levels was found as the seeds lose their dormancy. Dormancy of peanut seeds is associated with presence of a high level of ABA-like inhibitors and a low level of cytokinins. |
