Abstract

Vicia faba plants cv. ‘Erfordia’ were treated with single application of CCC at 250 mg l−1, 7 days before extraction. Such a concentration resulted in a 10.4, 14, 5 and 3.3 fold, respectively, increase in the levels of endogenous IAA, ABA, gibberellins and cytokinins relative to the controls. The results obtained indicate that a single application of CCC at a low concentration was sufficient to enhance the endogenous growth hormones in the treated plants. The results were obtained using GLC analyses for IAA, ABA and cytokinins, and the lettuce hypocotyl and soybean callus bioassay for gibberellins and cytokinins, respectively.
