Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect GA(3)-treated lettuce hypocotyl segments more than doubled in length in 48 hr at 30 C, while control segments elongated less than 50%.
- Intervention effect Auxin had no detectable effect on lettuce hypocotyl section growth.
- Intervention effect Sensitivity to GA(3) of lettuce hypocotyl sections was not decreased by apex or root removal.
- Intervention effect Blue and far red light inhibited lettuce hypocotyl section growth in the absence of GA(3).
- Intervention effect GA(3) reversed the blue and far red light inhibition of lettuce hypocotyl section growth.
- Intervention effect Potassium chloride stimulated growth of illuminated lettuce sections treated with GA(3).
- Intervention effect Potassium chloride had no effect on growth of control lettuce sections.
- Intervention effect Temperature, sucrose and preincubation in water affected lettuce hypocotyl section growth both with and without GA(3).
