INFLUENCE OF 6-BAP ON GROWTH, RESPIRATION, AND ANATOMICAL STRUCTURE OF WHEAT PLANTS

Abstract

The whole life of the plant proceeds with participation of substances of hormonal action, they regulate the interaction of the individual plant organs. Phytohormones are one of the systems with which the plant is able to subtly perceive and respond to different external influences. Under conditions of a pot experiment (soil culture), we have carried out experimental work with spring wheat which was treated with a synthetic analogue of cytokinins, i.e 6- benzylaminopurine (6-BAP). It is shown that spraying wheat with 6-BAP causes a change in height, plant mass, intensity of respiration and anatomical structure of the leaves.
