Abstract: | Neoformation of flower buds was studied in thin cell layersderived from floral branches of Nicotiana tabacum L. Organogenesiswas found to be expressed in different ways according to thekind of auxin and cytokinin present in the culture medium. Inthe presence of synthetic auxins (NAA, CTA), more flower budswere generated than with the natural auxins (IAA, IBA), if theculture medium was also supplemented with a cytokinin. Theseconditions also stimulated the development of the buds to flowersor inflorescences. The most active cytokinin was BA. Naturalcytokinins (zeatin, IPA) appeared much less active but led toremarkable development of roots together with flower buds. Anorganogenetic effect of 2,4-D was observed in this experimentalsystem, leading to the conclusion that organogenetic activityof cytokinins and auxins in thin cell layer cultures stronglydepends on the molecular structure of the growth regulators.
