Similar results were obtained using auxin or kinetin but only those of the latter were presented.
Both induction and morphogenesis of cyst nematode feeding cells are mediated by auxin.
The principal growth regulators include auxins, abscisic acid, ethylene, cytokinins and gibberellins.
The auxins, cytokinins and their interaction are generally considered of great importance in regulating growth and organized development.
The ineffectiveness of auxin as a germination stimulant indicates that there are different requirements.
Other suggestions have been made to explain auxin accumulation during nematode infection, such as the release of auxins from auxin conjugates (inactive auxin forms).
The conditions were less in favour of cellular divisions (decreased hexose, auxin and cytokinin concentrations).
Auxin\kinetin ratio was also found to be important in triggering the surface changes, especially at high concentrations.
