description

External and internal factors can exert a regulatory influence on growth and differentiation within a reaction norm determined by the genetic material. As to the internal factors, the phytohormones intervene in the most development processes in a regulatory manner. In a number of publications it was pointed out that there is a far-reaching accordance between the effects caused by I.4A and the effects induced by red light and low light conditions (Zerbe, Wild, 1980 a; Holzapfel et al., 1982 a). Plants of Sinapis alba grown under low light conditions but additionally treated with kinetin show changes in their metabolism that are characteristic of plants grown at higher light intensities (Zerbe, Wild, 1980 b). The high light effects are even intensified when kinetin is added in combination with blue light conditions (Holzapfel et al., 1982 b). In this investigation we wanted to contrast the impact of I.AA with the impact of kinetin on light adaptation reactions.
