Does 2,4-D induce mitotic irregularities in plant tissue cultures?

Abstract

Suspension cultures of Vicia hajastana and Haplopappus gracilis were maintained in B5 medium containing 0.1, 1.0 and 10.0, and 0.1, 0.5, 1.0 and 5.0 μg/ml 2,4-D, respectively. Anaphase analyses showed that the frequency of anomalies, especially bridges, was negatively associated with the 2,4-D concentration. © 1975 Birkhäuser Verlag.
