Abstract
Coumarin (1-200 ppm.) increased the expansion of C. album leaf disks floating on a basal soln. of D-glucose and KNO3. A coumarin effect was also found when either glucose or KNO3 was omitted from the medium. The glucose could be replaced by sucrose. KNO3 could be partially replaced by KCl, NaNO3, or Mg(NO3)2 but not by Ca(NO3)2. KNO3 was more effective than either KCl or NaNO3.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
