The auxin induced curvature of citrus petals.
نویسنده
چکیده
The curvature of citrus petals was studied, using petals implanted in an agar-sucrose medium. Applications of indoleacetic acid and p-chlorophenoxyisobutyric acid and determinations of endogenous auxins indicate that the bending of citrus petals is an auxin-mediated process.

Induction of phytohormones and differential gene expression in citrus flowers infected by the fungus Colletotrichum acutatum.
Colletotrichum acutatum infects citrus petals and induces premature fruit drop and the formation of persistent calyces. The accumulation of hormones and other growth regulators, and differential gene expression in affected flowers and young fruit, was examined following fungal infection. Ethylene evolution increased threefold and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) accumulation was as much as 140 times....
متن کاملDifferentiation between indoleacetic Acid and the citrus auxin by column chromatography.
A gradient elution column chromatography technique and a step-wise technique succeeded in differentiating between IAA and the citrus auxin. IAA was eluted ahead of the citrus auxin in both systems. The highest Avena curvature ever obtained from the citrus auxin occurred after the auxin had passed through the 2 purification techniques and a paper chromatography step. This is probably due to the ...
متن کاملInhibition of Polar Indole-3-acetic Acid Transport by Cycloheximide.
Cycloheximide inhibits polar indoleacetic acid transport in midrib tissues of leaves of citrus (Citrus sinensis [L.] Osbeck) and poplar (Populus deltoides Bartr.) as measured by the donor-receiver agar cylinder technique. It appears that the mechanism of auxin transport inhibition by cycloheximide consists in arresting protein synthesis and not in the disruption of energy flow. The interpretati...
متن کاملEffects of ethylene on the kinetics of curvature and auxin redistribution in gravistimulated roots of Zea mays.
We tested the involvement of ethylene in maize (Zea mays L.) root gravitropism by measuring the kinetics of curvature and lateral auxin movement in roots treated with ethylene, inhibitors of ethylene synthesis, or inhibitors of ethylene action. In the presence of ethylene the latent period of gravitropic curvature appeared to be increased somewhat. However, ethylene-treated roots continued to...
متن کاملFruit load induces changes in global gene expression and in abscisic acid (ABA) and indole acetic acid (IAA) homeostasis in citrus buds
Many fruit trees undergo cycles of heavy fruit load (ON-Crop) in one year, followed by low fruit load (OFF-Crop) the following year, a phenomenon known as alternate bearing (AB). The mechanism by which fruit load affects flowering induction during the following year (return bloom) is still unclear. Although not proven, it is commonly accepted that the fruit or an organ which senses fruit presen...
