Abstract
The level of endogenous gibberellin-like and cytokinin-like substances was estimated in the plumule and the root of 2-to 3-day-old intact pea seedlings, in the plumule of seedlings from which the radicle was cut off, and in the root of seedlings from which the plumule was removed.
An increase in the level of gibberellin-like substances and a decrease in the level of cytokininlike substances in the plumule as a consequence of radicle amputation were observed within 48 h. Plumule amputation resulted in a decreased level of both gibberellin-like and cytokinin-like substances in the root in the same period.
