Effect of 2,4-D upon the development of the cotton leaf

Ernest M. Gifford

Hilgardia, 1953, vol. 21, issue 18

Abstract: Cytohistological studies indicate that in the terminal bud of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L. var. Acala), 2,4-D applied in sublethal dosage to the cotyledons affects the structure and morphology, not of the apical meristem itself, but of the organs and tissues derived from it. 2,4-D affects not only foliage-leaf primordio present at the time of application but also some that develop thereafter.
