Abstract

Growth rates of Lemna perpusilla 6746 can be regulated in axenic cultures by 6-benzylaminopurine (BA) . Concentrations of 10-BM BA significantly enhanced growth, while levels of 10-7M and Higher were inhibitory. These effects of BA on growth were evident when calculated as either fresh weight of frond number.
