Abstract
The growth of first-transfer primary root tips of Lycopersicum esculentum was studied, as inhibited by isonicotinic acid hydrazide (INH) and promoted by pyridoxal HC1. Continuous growth curves were obtained with an automatic camera. The elongation of the root was constant up to 48 hours in the presence of pyridoxal. Inhibition by INH was almost completely abolished with increasing concentrations of pyridoxal. The Lineweaver-Burk graphical analysis of the data points to a competitive inhibition.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
