Abstract

The effect of growth retardants on phototropism has been studied in mung bean (Vigna radiata) seedlings. Ancymidol, tetcyclacis, and paclobutrazol inhibited phototropism while AMO 1618 and CCC were ineffective. The fluence-response relationships for phototropism of etiolated seedlings were similar to those previously described for monocots and other dicots. Ancymidol caused a shift in the maximum phototropic response to higher fluence of light. It is suggested that ancymidol may affect phototropism through an effect on the photoreceptor system.
