Tóm tắt

During the course of cell division in synchronously dividing cultured tobacco cells, the activity of IAA-synthesizing enzymes increased first, then the amount of endogenous IAA, and finally, the number of dividing cells. Based on the results obtained, we discussed the role of endogenous IAA in cell division.
