Indole-3-butyric acid 0BA), phenylacetic acid (PAA) and naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) were applied at a concentration of 10 -4 mol dm -3 to stem cutting bases of Populus x canadensis Moench. During adventitious root formation, the content of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) in cutting bases was estimated using the fluorimetric method. In the control variant, a rapid increase in endogenous IAA appeared after 24-h cultivation followed by gradual decrease during the following days. In contrast, the variants treated with IBA, PAA, and especially NAA exhibited firstly a decrease in endogenous IAA content and only afterwards an increase, reaching a maximum 48 h after excision. As root regeneration proceeded gradually, a decrease in the level of endogenous IAA occurred in all treatments. The first adventitious roots appeared in all treatments after 216-h cultivation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
