Abstract
Cytokinin-like activity of orotic acid and its 1-cyclohexyl and 1-phenyl derivatives was tested estimating the anthocyanin accumulation and inhibition of root formation in isolated buckwheat cotyledons (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench.). The anthocyanin content was stimulated most by 1-phenylorotic acid. Strong synergetic effect of the phenylurea cytokinin 4PU-30 was found.
