Subject(s): In: Physiologia Plantarum v. 15, no. 3, p. 473-497Summary: In experiments with tobacco tissue cultured on White's modified medium (basal medium in Tables 1 and 2) suplemented with kinetin and indoleacetic acid, a striking four -to five-fold increase in yield was obtained within a three to four week growth period on addition of and aqueous extract of tobacco leaves (Figures 1 and 2). Subsequently it was found that this promotion of growth was due mainaly though not entirely to inorganic rather than organic.
