The effects of hormones and inhibitors on amaranthin synthesis in seedlings ofAmaranthus tricolor

摘要

Both gibberellic acid and abscisic acid inhibit the light induced synthesis of amaranthin inAmaranthus tricolorseedlings. The auxin, indolyl-3-acetic acid has no effect. The protein/RNA inhibitors, cycloheximide and 8-azaguanine, also reduced the levels of amaranthin produced.
