It has been suggested that the response of Limonium sinuatum to different abiotic stress situations related to the plug tray cell size during nursery could be associated with the synthesis and translocation of endogenous cytokinins produced in the root tips. To validate this hypothesis, the aim of this work was to evaluate the participation of cytokinins in the process of biomass accumulation in L. sinuatum plants through foliar spraying with a synthetic cytokinin (benzyl aminopurine, BAP) and an inhibitor of the synthesis of endogenous cytokinins (dopamine). Our results indicated that spraying L. sinuatum plants with BAP increased leaf area initiation and expansion, biomass accumulation through increased plant photosynthetic capacity, and differential partitioning towards the shoot apical meristem by a positive feedback mechanism that has a threshold of optimal response close to 100 mg L-1 BAP. Dopamine spraying appeared to affect the synthesis of endogenous cytokinins, reducing the previously mentioned responses. Responses were dose-dependent, with an optimum of 100 mg L-1 BAP and 200 mg L-1 dopamine. Our results allow concluding that the level of endogenous cytokinins during the abiotic stress such as root restriction during nursery is a determining variable of the biomass accumulation process in this species.
