Abstract:

Hydrogen cyanamide (CY) has been used to break rest in temperate crops, but levels used to overcome rest are sometimes toxic to plants. The rest breaking effect of CY is thought to involve peroxide metabolism. Inhibition of catalase by CY has been proposed as a mechanism for overcoming dormancy in...
