Abstract
The embryos of germinating Zea mays seed were supplied with [14C]-adenine Following incubation, the tissue was extracted and extensively purified by non-exchange chromatography and thin layer chromatography. Radioactivity was found to be incorporated into zeatin nucleotide indicating that the embryo in the germinating seed is capable of cytokinin biosynthesis.Keywords
