On the trail of a new regulatory system in plants. Polyomines as modulators of plant development sponsored by Fundación Juan March, Madrid, Spain, February 4-6, 1991.
Investigations into the physiology and biochemistry of polyamines in plants have virtually exploded in the last decade. While not yet accepted by plant physiologists as plant hormones or even as major regulators of plant growth and development, the polyamines require consideration in such varied fields as cell division, organ differentiation, senescence, and stress. We are sure to see more conferences on this subject in the near future.
