β¦ Synopsis
The gibberellin content of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) roots and green organs from (2-chloroethyl) trimethylammonium chloride (CCC)-treated seeds was equal to or even higher than in the water controls. The main difference between control and growth retardant-treated seedlings was expressed in the differential distribution of the endogenous gibberellin between its free and bound forms.

The inhibition of the growth of wheat seedlings by 2-chloroethyltrimethylammonium chloride (CCC) was strongly reduced by root application of acetylcholine (Ach). Ach was applied after uptake of CCC by the roots or by the leaves. Ach also stimulated growth of non-CCC-treated seedlings up to 30% when
Gibberellic acid (GA3) enhances ultrastructural morphogenesis of plastids in greening cereals whilst abscisic acid (ABA) and CCC have the reverse effect over a shorter period.
