The effect of salicylic acid on the growth of Lemna gibba

1974

DeKock, P.C. | Grabowska, F.B. | Innes, A.M.

Salicylic acid added as the iron chelate causes extension of the pedicels and distortion in the growth of daughter fronds of Lemna gibba, when included in a nutrient salt medium which contains the ammonium ion. The effect is abolished if iron or copper is omitted from the nutrient solution or if the medium contains only nitrate nitrogen. The effect is specific for salicylic acid or acetyl salicylic acid; substituted or analogous compounds are without effect.
