Hormones and Cuscuta Development: Influence of Hormones on Secondary Xylem Differentiation, Phenylalanine Ammonia Lyase (PAL) Activity and Lignification
As with other plant growth and development processes, all five classes of plant hormones appear to influence xylem differentiation in whole, wounded, amputated or decapitated plants, isolated plant organs, exp...

Hormones andCuscuta development: IAA uptake transport and metabolism in relation to growth in the absence and presence of applied cytokinin
Transport of 1-14C-IAA in successive stem segments ofCuscuta was strictly basipetal in growing and non growing regions of the vine with a flux velocity of 10–12 mm/h (intercept method). This transport showed a di...

Hormones andCuscuta development: In vitro induction of haustoria by cytokinin and its inhibition by other hormones
Cytokinins induced haustoria formation in excised 10-mm segments ofCuscuta vine, the subapical 25-to-50-mm region being most responsive, producing a mean of 4–6 haustoria per segment. The order of effectiveness o...

Hormones andCuscuta development: interaction of cytokinin and indole-3-acetic acid in the growth and curvature of subapical stem segments
Cuscuta stem (vines) exhibits two modes of growth—longitudinal elongation forming free-hanging vines, or coiling growth to twine around the host. The elongation zone of free-hanging vine extended up to 160 mm fr...
