Remmer, SB/ Ahmadjian, V/ Livdahl, TP 1986: Effects of IAA (indole-3-acetic acid) and kinetin (6-furfurylamino-purine) on the synthetic lichen Cladonia cristatella and its isolated symbionts. - Lichen Physiology and Biochemistry1: 1-25. [RLL List # 129-140 / Rec.# 15507] Keywords: CLADONIA/ HORMONES/ AUXIN/ KINETIN/ SYMBIONTS/ CYTOKININ/ TREBOUXIA
Abstract: 7 figures. 8 tables. ["Algal growth was stimulated and fungal growth inhibited at 0.1 mg/l IAA while at 1.0 mg/l IAA algal growth was not significantly affected but fungal growth was inhibited. Kinetin moderated the inhibitory action of IAA on fungal growth. Hormone treatments identical to those used on the symbionts were used during lichen synthesis." Kinetin alone and in combination with IAA "... stimulated the development of synthetic squamules, juvenile podetia, and apothecia."]
