- Title
The Action of Some Cytokinins on the Rest-Period and the Content of Acid Growth-inhibiting Substances in Potato.
- Authors
Hemberg, Torsten
- Abstract
Apical section of resting potato tubers of the variety Majestic, which is known for a long rest-period, were treated for 6 and 24 hours with water or with the cytokinins kinetin or zeatin. The cytokinin-treatment breaks the rest-period very rapidly. The buds begin to sprout already after 2-3 days. The content of acid inhibitors (the β inhibitor) in extracts of the peelings from cytokinin-treated sections is much lower than in similar extracts from water-treated, resting sections. Already 6 hours after the beginning of the treatment, differences in inhibitor content can be demonstrated.
