Abstract

Coumarin-caused stimulation of rooting of cuttings of Impatiens balsamina L. is associated with an increase in the endogenous contents of carbohydrates, total phenols and proteins. Peroxidase, IAA oxidase and polyphenol oxidase activities also increased in coumarin treated cuttings at the time of cell division preceding primordia formation (6–12 h after treatment). Coumarin effect on rooting as well as on related biochemical changes resembles the effect of auxins in some ways.
