Interaction between Kinetin and Indoleacetic Acid in the Control of Bud Reactivation in Splachnum ampullaceum (L.) Hedw.

Abstract

IT has been shown1 that the apical region of the gametophore of Splachnum ampulloceum (L.) Hedw. inhibits both lateral bud reactivation throughout the gametophore and protonematal regeneration from the base of the gametophore. These apical dominance effects could be replaced by the application of indoleacetic acid to the tips of decapitated plants.
