Kinetin alleviates cycloheximide inhibition and oxygen alleviates chloramphenicol inibition of germination of lettuce seeds (Lactuca sativa L. cv Grand Rapids). The effect is not due to increased but rather a substitution for protein synthesis. A cytokinin and energy supply appear prime requirements for germination.
