Abstract: The inhibition of 6-Benzyl Aminopurine (BAP) and Zeatin (ZT) on root and anther tissues respiration of maize was studied. It was found that BAP and ZT being in high concentration could inhibit tissue total respiration remarkably by means of inhibiting cyanide-resistant respiration pathway. The possible relation between content of cytokinin, respiration system and cytoplasmic male sterility of maize was also discussed.

Key words: Maize, 6-Benzyl aminopurine, Zeatin, Cyanidehresistant respiration pathway, Cytoplasmic male sterility
