The possible relation between cytokinins and secondary xylem formation in Pinus silvestris. I. Seasonal correlations

Dorota B. Kubowicz

Abstract


The Seasonal dynamics of changes in the endogenous cytokinin level was investigated in the tissue of the stem cambial region, The results of the soybean test and Amaranthus test show that marked variations occur. in the course of the year in cytokinin activity in five fractions obtained from tissue of the cambial region. These variations characterized by a spring maximum and late-summer maximum may be correlated in time with changes in cambial activity and the course of annual ring differentiation in the pine stem during the vegetation season.
