Growth of Japanese holly as affected by nitrogen and growth regulators
… compared to plants grown at 50 ppm N. Initially, benzyladenine (BA) at 600 ppm decreased the number of primary breaks and decreased the stem length, while gibberellic acid (GA) at 400 ppm decreased the number of primary bud breaks and increased stem length. The hormone responses persisted for …

COMPARATIVE EFFECTS OF GIBBERELLIC ACID AND N(6)-BENZYLADENINE ON GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF DWARF WATERMELON SEEDLINGS
<p>Apical applications of 0.2 micrograms N('6)-benzyladenine (BA), a synthetic cytokinin, or 5 micrograms gibberellic acid (GA) significantly enhanced hypocotyl elongation in intact dwarf watermelon seedlings. Accompanying the increase in hypocotyl length was increased expansion of the cotyledons …

Floral initiation in <i>Rudbeckia hirta</i>: limited inductive photoperiod, polyamines and cytokinins
… species but Rudbeckia hirta did not respond to benzyladenine (BA) applied at the onset of LD. Floral initiation has been found to begin after six to eight LD and, in most species, BA was most effective when applied during initiation. In an attempt to increase uptake, BA was dissolved in dimethyl …

Morphological and physiological growth responses of Kentucky bluegrass to foliar applications of iron, a cytokinin, and growth regulator- like chemicals
… phosphate citrate (Fe), the synthetic cytokinin benzyladenine (BA), the systemic triazole fungicides propiconazole and triadimefon, and MZ63 cold water seaweed extract. Applications of Fe at 112 mg m⁻², BA at 6 mg m⁻², propiconazole and triadimefon at 42 and 150 mg m⁻², respectively, and MZ63 …

Controlling Growth in Echinacea Hybrids
New hybrid Echinacea cultivars, based on crosses of Echinacea purpurea (L.) Moench with several other Echinacea species, have generated interest and excitement in the marketplace due to novel flower colors and forms. However, these cultivars vary significantly in their growth habits and …

Use of Plant Growth Regulators to Improve Branching of Herbaceous Perennial Liners
… to improve branching during production of herbaceous perennial liners and finished plants. The effects of benzyladenine (BA) on the branching and root and shoot growth of Agastache Clayt. Ex Gronov. 'Purple Haze', Gaura lindheimeri Engelm. & A. Gray 'Siskiyou Pink', Lavandula × intermedia …

Utilization of tissue culture methods and molecular markers for improvement of Solanum phureja Juz. & Buk.
… presence of silver thiosulfate (STS) in the MS basal medium did not affect the frequency of cells with 2x nuclei but increased the proportion of cells with 1x nuclei and decreased the proportion with 4x nuclei. Results indicated that STS lower the occurrence of endopolyploid nuclei. The …

The Role of the Ubiquitin-Proteasome Pathway During Xylem Differentiation in <I>Zinnia elegans</I> Mesophyll Cells and <I>Arabidopsis thaliana</I>
… stimulate only cell elongation. Cytokinin (N-6-benzyladenine, BA) has a greater effect on growth in cell girth rather than length. Gibberellic acid (GA₃) has equivalent effects on expansion in both dimensions. These results demonstrate that radial cell expansion and cell elongation can be …

Influence of iron and cytokinin on Cynodon spp. cultured at chilling temperatures
… season stimulated post-dormancy recovery. Benzyladenine (BA) applied alone was not as effective as Fe for promoting green bermudagrass color retention during fall and BA had few effects on spring growth when applied the previous season. Applications of BA in conjunction with Fe were …

Regulation of Growth and Branching of Containerized Penstemon x mexicali Cultivars
… had on Pikes Peak Purple. We found that the PGRs benzyladenine and ethephon were successful at producing more branches than the untreated control when the plants were considered finished in the container. Another group of PGRs known as growth retardants were also evaluated on Pikes Peak Purple. …
