Effect of cytokinins on shoot apical meristem in Nicotiana tabacumDOI: 10.2298/abs1202511u Keywords: Benzyladenine , histology , shoot apical meristem , tobacco Abstract: Cytokinins are involved in plant cell proliferation leading to plant growth and morphogenesis. The size, activity and maintenance of the shoot apical meristem (SAM) are defined by a balanced rate of mitotic cell divisions and functional cell differentiation that are controlled by cytokinins. In order to investigate the effect of exogenous cytokinin on SAM, morpho-anatomical changes in the shoot apices of tobacco treated with benzyladenine (BA) were compared to those of untreated control plants.
