Abstract: | Using specific bioassays i.e. radish cotyledon expansion, betacyanin synthesis in Amaranthus caudatus, and senescence retardation of isolated leaf explants, six 4-substituted 1-H pyrazoles and five 8-aza adenine analogues were tested for their cytokinin- and anticytokinin activity. Most of the pyrazole derivatives showed some cytokinin-like activity and enhanced the effect of 10–5 M BA. 8-Aza substituted adenines were found to be cytokinin antagonists; in the bioassays used they were inactive when applied alone but blocked the action of 10–5 M BA when applied simultaneously. |
