Abstract: | When added at 3.10–6 mM to auxin-starved suspension cultured carrot (Daucus carota L.) cells, the steroid hormone 24-epibrassinolide (BR) induces cell enlargement but not cell division.This is at variance from the effect of 2,4-D which, in the same experimental conditions, restores cell division without having any effect on cell enlargement.Furthermore, in the tested experimental conditions, the effect of BR is dominant over the effect of 2,4-D when the two hormones are simultaneously supplied to the auxin-starved culture.Abbreviations BR
brassinosteroid, 24-epibrassinolide
- 2,4-D
2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid
- IAA
indole-3-acetic acid
- GA3
gibberellic acid |
