“…1, 2A, 3, 6, 7). Although these millimolar concentrations are generally at least an order of magnitude greater than the levels found to be effective with animal cells (Underwood and Riches, 1992), lower plants (Conrad and Hepler, 1988;Kataoka, 1990;Wacker and Schnepf, 1990), plant cell cultures (Roberts and Haigler, 1990), or protoplasts (Graziana et al, 1988), they are comparable to the concentrations that inhibit the growth of pea stem sections (Cunninghame and Hall, 1986;Brummell and Machlachlan, 1989) and maize roots (Perdue et al, 1988). None of the antagonists, except lanthanum at a very high concentration of 100 mM, was found to inhibit the relatively small amount of growth in nonhormone-treated segments.…”
