Table 2.

Effect of CO2 concentration on the concentration of cytokinins (Cks; Z, members of the t-zeatin family; DHZ, members of the dihydrozeatin family; IP, members of the isopentenyladenine family) in mature leaves and roots as well as the xylem sap of petioles from mature leaves and stems (see explanations in the text for further details on the collection of xylem sap) from 35-day-old tobacco plants grown in root beds of 10 L. Units corresponding to italic values are indicated in italics.
