Atrazine [2-chloro-4-(ethylamino)-6-(isopropylamino)-s-triazine] at a concentration of 10−8M stimulated the elongation of the embryonic axis of red kidney beans (Phaseolus vulgarisL. ‘Charlevoix’). This stimulation of elongation was accompanied by a light-independent increase in protein synthesis as measured by radioactive amino acid incorporation.
