A concentration of 900 mu-g/ml of the acid totally inhibited germination of barley seeds, with lower concentrations greatly inhibiting growth and development of germinated seeds. Root extension and root-hair production were inhibited at a concentration of 450 mu-g/ml of the acids, but the number of roots per seedling was increased. Toxicity of the acids was promoted at low pH T2 - Plant and Soil ER -
