Daily rhythms of the mitotic activity (MA) and mitosis duration were studied in meristem of the Pisum sativum L. primary roots. It is determined that MA increases in the day time. The daily rhythm of mitosis duration is absent. The germination of Pisum sativum seeds in solution with 1-thyroxine revealed that thyroxine increases average diurnal MA and results in formation of two-phases rhythm of mitosis number. The additional (night) increase of MA is connected with prolongation of mitosis.
