Abstract
The characteristic micromorphology of the tobaoco cell strains, or its cyclic changes in the course of the subcultivation interval can be affected by auxin composition of the medium,i.e. by the application of either 2,4-D alone, or NAA, or their combination. On omitting one of the auxins, the over-all growth of the cultures is not substantially affeoted; however, the participation of various oell types, as well as the occurrenoe of starch grains are altered. The presenoe of 2,4-D alone results in an inhibition of starch occurrence, NAA alone causes a stimulation. There is no causal dependence of the occurrence or absence of starch grains on the stimulation of elongation (volume) growth, or, on the contrary, on cell division.
