Popis: Sublethal doses of glyphosate [N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine] applied in a 50-μl drop in the partially furled third true leaf of 30-day-old sorghum [Sorghum bicolor(L.) Moench ‘Tophand’] seedlings induced basal stem swelling and bud release. Combining glyphosate with cycloheximide {3-[2-(3,5-dimethyl-2-oxycyclohexyl)-2-hydroxyethyl]glutarimide}, a cytokinin [N6(2-isopentenyl)adenine], or L-phenylalanine significantly reduced the incidence of basal stem swelling. No such reductions was observed when indole-3-acetic acid or L-tyrosine was combined with glyphosate. The fresh weights of the seedlings given the combination treatments reflected the effects of glyphosate, except one combination that included tyrosine significantly reduced fresh weight and three combinations that included phenylalanine significantly increased fresh weight.
