Auxin (11 μM α-naphthaleneacetic acid) and cytokinin (1.4 μM kinetin) regulate cytokinin accumulation by cytokinin-requiring (C(-)) and cytokinin-autotrophic (C(+)) lines of Havana 425 tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) tissues. No trans-zeatin riboside (ZR) (<0.5 pmol·g(-1) fresh weight) was detected
Explants from flower stalks of Nicotiana tabacum L. were cultured on different cytokinins to induce flower bud formation. All cytokinins tested except zeatin and zeatin-riboside induced the same maximal number of flower buds. Benzyladenine, benzyladenosine, and dihydrozeatin were the most active
The levels of the major cytokinins, zeatin, zeatin riboside, zeatin riboside-5'-monophosphate and zeatin-7-glucoside were measured in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) crown-gall tissues carrying insertion and deletion mutations in the T-DNA. Measurements were made by combined gas chromatography-mass
The activity of the phytohormone cytokinin depends on a complex interplay of factors such as its metabolism, transport, stability, and cellular/tissue localization. O-glucosides of zeatin-type cytokinins are postulated to be storage and/or transport forms, and are readily deglucosylated. Transgenic
To elucidate the physiological functions of the substances in xylem sap, we analyzed the biological activities of xylem sap from squash (Cucurbita maxima Duch.) root using tobacco BY-2 (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Bright Yellow 2) cell protoplasts. When BY-2 cell protoplasts were cultivated with the
The profile of endogenous cytokinins in a genetic tumor line of tobacco, namely, Nicotiana glauca (Grah.) x Nicotiana langsdorffii (Weinm.), following 1 to 10 weeks of growth on solid medium was determined by radioimmunoassay. (3)H-labeled cytokinins of high specific activity were added during
This study considered cytokinin distribution in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) shoot apices in distinct phases of development using immunocytochemistry and quantitative tandem mass spectrometry. In contrast to vegetative apices and flower buds, we detected no free cytokinin bases (zeatin,
Adenosine kinase (ADK), a key enzyme in the regulation of the intracellular level of adenosine is also speculated to be responsible for the conversion of cytokinin ribosides to their respective nucleotides. To elucidate the role of ADK in the cytokinin metabolism of tobacco BY-2 cells (Nicotiana
Plants growing in dense canopies are exposed to vertical light gradients and show photosynthetic acclimation at the whole-plant level, resulting in efficient photosynthetic carbon gain. We studied the role of cytokinins transported through the transpiration stream as one of probably multiple signals
The endogenous levels of the major, naturally occurring cytokinins in Pisum sativum ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase small subunit promoter-isopentenyl transferase gene (Pssu-ipt)-transformed tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) callus were quantified using electrospray-liquid chromatography-tandem
Nearly half a century ago insect herbivores were found to induce the formation of green islands by manipulating cytokinin (CK) levels. However, the response of the CK pathway to attack by chewing insect herbivores remains unclear. Here, we characterize the CK pathway of Nicotiana attenuata (Torr. ex
Heat shock (HS) at 40 degrees C was given to the root system of Nicotiana tabacum wild type (WT) and to HSIPT transgenic plants transformed with the bacterial cytokinin biosynthesis gene isopentenyltransferase (ipt) cloned behind the heat shock 70 promoter from Drosophila melanogaster. HS increased
This study investigated whether an increased production of the plant hormone cytokinin in roots, the main site of its synthesis and putative signaling organ, can influence developmental events, such as growth of axillary shoot meristems or leaf senescence, in the plant shoot. To this end, transgenic
Although cytokinins (CKs) affect a number of processes connected with chloroplasts, it has never been rigorously proven that chloroplasts contain CKs. We isolated intact chloroplasts from tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv SR1) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv Ritmo) leaves and determined their CKs
In the present investigation we report selection of the N-methyl-N-(tert.-butydimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide (MTBSTFA) reagent as the most comprehensive derivatization protocol among 17 tested reactions covering trifluoroacetylation, pentafluorobenzylation, methylations, and trimethylsilylations.
