Abstract
Sublethal rates of glyphosate applied in a 50- mu litre drop on the partially unfurled 3rd true leaf of 30-day old sorghum cv. 'Tophand' seedlings induced basal stem swelling and bud release. The addition of cycloheximide (a cytokinin) or L-phenylalanine significantly reduced the incidence of basal stem swelling. No such reduction was observed when IAA or L-tyrosine was mixed with glyphosate. The fresh wts. of seedlings treated with glyphosate alone and with the mixtures were comparable except that one of the mixtures with tyrosine significantly reduced fresh wt. and 3 mixtures with phenylalanine significantly increased fresh wt.
