Abstract
Malformin induces curvatures, stimulates root hair and lateral root formation, promotes radial expansion, inhibits elongation, wet and dry weight, cell division and cell wall synthesis in roots of Zea mays, but has no effect on protein synthesis. The growth curves (elongation, wet and dry weight) of Z. mays roots treated with malformin are cubic. Processes which are involved in inhibition of elongation are considered the primary cause of root curvatures by malformin.
