MH and B-nine dependant reversal of CCC induced retardation of early shoot growth in rice

  • Published:
Planta Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Rice shoot elongation was inhibited by 50% at 0.158 M CCC used as a presowing seed treatment. This inhibition was partially reversed by MH (0.001 M) or B-Nine (0.002 M). The reversing potentiality of MH or B-Nine was not additive. The significance of the result is discussed.
