The thickening that appeared on maize roots under the influence of 6-benzylaminopurine and α-naphthylacetic acid (concentration 10-5, 10-6, 10-7 and 10-8 M) were analysed. The changes in length and width of maize roots at the edge of elongation zone after 24,48 and 72 h of treatment were studied. The growth in length of cells at the edge of elongation zone stopped abruptly but the growth in width slowly continued. So, the growth of cells in length and width under the influence of growth regulators was not simultaneous. They had distinct time limits.

Keywords: growth regulators; root length; root width; Zea mays
