Abstract
Kinetin induces formation of red pigment in seedlings of Amaranthus retroflexus in the dark. This effect is similar to the light-induced formation of pigment. Light and kinetin do not act in a simple additive way. The pigment is not an anthocyanin, and its formation is not affected by inhibitors of anthocyanin formation.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
