Influence of 3-metoxycarbonylmethylbenzothiazolium bromide on growth and mitotic activity of Vicia sativa L. roots

Abstract


3-Metoxycarbonylmethylbenzothiazolium bromide (MMB) influences the growth of the roots seedlings of Vicia sativa L. It stimulates growth within a broad concentration range of 10-13-10-7 M, but inhibits growth at 10-3 M and shows similar stimulating and inhibiting effects on the mitotic activity of root tip cells.
