The focus of this paper is to examine whether foliar application of cytokinins to young wheat plants insufficiently supplied with nitrogen affects the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and amount of superoxide anion radical (O2.-). Application of trans-zeatine (CK) reduced the activity of SOD, but this reduction was not accompanied by an increase in the amount of O2.-. Application of benzyl adenine (BA) also reduced the activity of SOD, with concomitant increase in the amount of O2.- in wheat leaves.
