Abstract
Young seedlings of two tumor-prone Nicotiana amphiploids, grown aseptically on nutrient medium, were treated with either N6-benzyladenine or kinetin. The incidence of tumor formation was scored for 18 days subsequent to exposure. These cytokinins markedly accelerated the rate of tumorigenesis in both amphiploids. The results are discussed in relation to the problem of the trigger mechanism for tumor induction in Nicotiana species hybrids.
