INTERACTIVE EFFECTS OF
(2-CHLOROETHYL)-TRIMETHYLAMMONIUM CHLORIDE AND PHYTOHORMONES ON GROWTH
OF WHEAT SEEDLINGS F. Begum and M. I. Khan
Abstract: The effect of (2-chloroethyl)-trimethylammonium chloride (CCC) in combination with her GA or IAA on the growth of wheat seedlings were studied. Increasing concentration of GCC increased the shoot length but increased the root length with the exception of 10 ppm CCC where no significant difference as compared to control was observed. The inhibitory effect of CCC on shoot which was reversed by the addition of either 1.0 ppm. GA or 0.1 ppm IAA solution. The present study revealed that CCC acted like an “antigibberellin ” and an “antiauxin”.
