Catharanthus roseus transformed roots were cultured in the presence of salicylic acid (SA) at concentrations between 0.1 fM and 100 pM and the effect on root growth was evaluated. Significant morphological changes in the lateral roots were recorded on day two in the SA treatment. Presence of SA increased root cap size and caused the appearance of lateral roots closer to the root tip. The bioassay was sensitive enough to allow testing of low concentrations of other growth regulators that may affect root morphology and physiology. (C) 2007 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
