Possible role of cytokinins in cereals with regard to the resistance to obligate fungus parasites

  • Published:
Biologia Plantarum

Abstract

The cultivars of barley and wheat resistant to mildew had a higher level of free zeatin and its derivatives during the whole ontogeny than the susceptible cultivars. The effect of exogenous application of cytokinins on the growth ofErysiphe graminis DC. was different. Kinetin and benzylaminopurine showed only a slight inhibitory effect. Zeatin and its derivatives completely inhibited growth of this fungus.
