Polyamine Sparing May Be Involved in the Prolongation of Cell Division Due to Inhibition of Phenylpropanoid Synthesis in Cytokinin-Starved Soybean Cells
Effects on growth, mostly of an inhibitory nature, have been attributed to phenolic compounds in vivo and in vitro. This suggests that l-α-aminooxy-β-phenylpropionic acid (l-AOPP), a competitive inhibitor of phe...

An evaluation of the role of cytokinins in the development of abnormal inflorescences in oil palms (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) regenerated from tissue culture
Tissue cultures and regenerant plants from cell lines producing palms with normal and abnormal flowers were analyzed for cytokinin content and compared with zygotic embryos and seedlings. Immature inflorescenc...
