Abstract
We studied the dynamics of phytohormone levels (indole-3-acetic acid, abscisic acid, cytokinins, and gibberellin-like substances) in red beet (Beta vulgaris L.) roots at different developmental stages in comparison with the data on the dynamics of sugar accumulation in order to test possible hormonal regulation of sugar accumulation. The obtained data suggest the involvement of cytokinins and gibberellin-like substances in the control of sugar accumulation in the roots, while indole-3-acetic acid, abscisic acid, and gibberellin-like substances can control the outflow. The data on the dynamics of phytohormone levels shed light on their specific physiological role in red beet root development.
