Abstract
Tissue-cultured cotton calli of the cultivar Coker 312 were exposed to three systemic insecticides at three field rates (converted to labora tory equivalents) for 8 wk to evaluate the effects of phytostimulation or phytoinhibition on cell phenotype (coloration) and fresh and dry w eight production. Phytotoxicity was observed at the highest label fate of each chemical. used. The stimulatory effect found at the lowest ra te resulted in significantly higher fresh-weight and dry matter accumu lation; whereas, inhibition at the high rates, due to phytotoxicity, r esulted in significant reduction of cell mass production.
