Abstract
Applications of hormones to fully expanded leaves of dwarf bean stimulate the activity of carboxydismutase. The increase in enzyme activity is not paralleled by synthesis of plastid ribosomal RNA nor is there a demonstrable enhancement of synthesis of fraction I protein. These results are interesting in relation to the activities of other photosynthetic enzymes.
