Effects of the cortex on light- and kinetin-induced accumulation of betacyanin in the epidermal tissue of Phytolacca americana

Accumulation of betacyanin in the peeled green epidermis from the stem of P. americana was induced by incubating the epidermis in Murashige and Skoog's medium, under light, and was promoted by the presence of kinetin. However, in the epidermal tissue with cortex attached, the accumulation of be...

Description
Summary:Accumulation of betacyanin in the peeled green epidermis from the stem of P. americana was induced by incubating the epidermis in Murashige and Skoog's medium, under light, and was promoted by the presence of kinetin. However, in the epidermal tissue with cortex attached, the accumulation of betacyanin was inhibited.
