zeatin riboside/potato

Using high pressure liquid chromatography, the cucumber cotyledon bioassay, and mass spectrometry a cytokinin isolated from Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Katahdin plant tissues has been identified as cis-zeatin riboside. Zeatin riboside (ZR) levels in plants grown under inducing conditions (28 C day and

Potato tubers were engineered to express a bacterial gene encoding 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate synthase (DXS) in order to investigate the effects of perturbation of isoprenoid biosynthesis. Twenty-four independent transgenic lines out of 38 generated produced tubers with significantly elongated

The effects of drought stress on root morphology, endogenous hormones, chlorophyll fluorescence and active oxygen metabolism in three different stages of sweet potato rooting, branching and tubering stage were studied by sand culture method with 10% PEG-6000 simulating drought stress. The results

Potato Line Mb1501B is a derivative of the cultivar Maris Bard (Solanum tuberosum), transformed with T-DNA from A. tumefaciens strain LBA1501. In culture it grew as frequently branching stunted shoots with a basal callus, lacking roots. These shoots did not form tubers. When grafted, Mb1501B shoots

Effects of cytokinins were studied on rotenone-sensitive NADH dehydrogenase in mitochondria from fresh potato tubers (Solanum tuberosum), in consideration of the operation of external and rotenone-insensitive internal NADH dehydrogenases that has not been fully accounted for in previous studies. In

A radioimmunoassay, combined with high-performance liquid chromatography, has been used to analyse the zeatin-type cytokinins of potato (Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Majestic) tubers and tuber buds throughout growth and storage. During tuber growth, zeatin riboside was the predominant cytokinin detected

In vitro-grown potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) microtubers were used as an explant source in the production of transgenic plants by Agrobacterium-mediated gene transfer. In this study we tested four diverse potato cultivars, Lemhi Russet, Russet Burbank, Wauseon, and Yankee Chipper on various levels

The effects of the antioxidant Ambiol and 2-chlorethylphosphonic acid (2-CEPA) on individual concentrations and concentration ratios of phytohormones, photosynthesis and photophosphorylation rates, sucrose and starch content in tubers, and plant productivity were studied in potato (Solanum tuberosum

A compound was isolated from potato (Solanum tuberosum L. cv Bintje) tuber sprouts by immunoaffinity chromatography with antibodies against the cytokinins zeatin riboside and isopentenyladenosine. Analysis by ultraviolet spectroscopy and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry of derivatives identified

StCKP1 (Solanum tuberosum cytokinin riboside phosphorylase) catalyses the interconversion of the N9-riboside form of the plant hormone CK (cytokinin), a subset of purines, with its most active free base form. StCKP1 prefers CK to unsubstituted aminopurines. The protein was discovered as a CK-binding

Changes in cytokinin, auxin, and abscisic acid levels were determined by high performance liquid chromatography following CO(2) enrichment of the root zone. Both trans zeatin and zeatin riboside significantly decreased in the roots 6 days after treatment with CO(2). In the leaves zeatin riboside

A two-step procedure was used for plant regeneration from in vitro grown leaf strips (2-3 mm wide) of cv. Bintje. Step I medium was designed with 2,4-dichlorophenoxycetic acid (2,4-D) at 0.0 or 9.0 μM, in combination with 2.28 μM kinetin (K), benzyl adenine (BA), zeatin (Z) or zeatin riboside (ZR).

Plant hormones are important molecules which at low concentration can regulate various physiological processes. Mass spectrometry has become a powerful technique for the quantification of multiple classes of plant hormones because of its high sensitivity and selectivity. We developed a new ultrahigh
