A A. Prosandyeyeva, M. K Smirnova, I. Yu. Gorbatenko

A possibility to increase the chlorophyll content in Ucopersicon esculentum L., Cucurbita pepo L. by certain concentrations of kinetin, antioxidant ionol, acetone in medium is shown. Acetone is shown to rise the dry matter content in Cucurbita pepo. A similarity in chemical structures of the kinetin and ionol molecules is revealed using the Chem Office Pro program.
