W. Kuternozinska et M. Pilipowicz, THE EFFECT OF CHLORAMPHENICOL ON THE GROWTH AND XYLOGENESIS IN CALLUSOF HAPLOPAPPUS-GRACILIS, Biologia plantarum, 35(2), 1993, pp. 307-309
The effect of chloramphenicol (CP) on the differentiation of callus ce
lls of Haplopappus gracilis into tracheary elements (TE) was studied.
CP (I mg l-1) added to the medium stimulating the differentiation was
shown to have an inhibitory effect. This observation points to the imp
ortance of the impaired functions of mitochondria in the processes lea
ding to the differentiation of callus cells into TE.
