Effect of kinetin on growth, auxin catabolism, peroxidase and catalase activities

  • Published:
Planta Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Kinetin causes an inhibition of growth of root sections. The IAA-oxidizing system from treated roots is activated. Kinetin parallely produces an increase in peroxidase activity but does not affect catalase. The compound has no effect in vitro on the enzymes considered.
