An investigation towards the impact of cytokinins in waterlogging-induced epinasty in tomato plants KU Leuven
When tomato plants experience waterlogging due to for example heavy rainfall they may experience hypoxia. The tomato plants react to this with an epinastic response and growth of adventitious roots. Earlier at the Van de Poel Lab for molecular plant hormone physiology differential levels of both abscisic acid and cytokinin under epinasty was noticed by predecessor Batist Geldhof. The impact of these phytohormones on the generally studied ...
