Morphactin-induced malmorphogenetic effect and its transmission inKalanchoë

1 Department of Botany, University of Delhi, Delhi, India

Morphactin dispensed through shoot apex induced diverse malformations of plant organs in four species ofKalanchoë. The malmorphogenetic effect was freely transmitted to newly emerging axillary branches as well as across leaf lamina to differentiating epiphyllous buds.

Keywords: apex; branches; Chlorflurenol; cup formation; epiphyllous buds
