Molecular aspects of Cytokinin’s stymied action on Auxin mediated new root formation in the hypocotyls of Phaseolus vulgaris L.

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Current Plant Science and Biotechnology in Agriculture ((PSBA,volume 12))

Abstract

Elucidation of molecular events that regulate organogenesis either in an in vitro or in an in vivo system is a daunting task fraught with many imponderables. It is deja vu that a set of phytohormones control the growth and development of plant body. It is also fiat accompli that any two growth hormones such as auxin or cytokinin, though having their own specific effects on different target tissues, yet their combined action on the same tissue varies and it is concentration dependent (Miller, 1961). The interplay of different hormones at molecular level in inducing or inhibiting one or the other morphogenic structures such as root or shoot or redifferentiation of differentiated tissues into new organs is both befuddling and contentious.
