The abscisic acid induction of a novel peroxidase is antagonized by cytokinin in Spirodela polyrrhiza L.

چکیده
The growth regulator abscisic acid (ABA) can be used to induce dormant bud structures (turions) in the duckweed Spirodela polyrrhiza L. In this paper we show that during this process, ABA rapidly induces elevated levels of mRNA transcripts encoding a novel basic peroxidase. In addition, we show that in the presence of the cytokinin kinetin the maintained increase is attenuated. Kinetin not only totally inhibits the induction of turions by ABA but also alleviates ABA-induced growth inhibition. This antagonism of an ABA-induced gene by a cytokinin correlates with an easily observable antagonistic effect of these two hormones on plant morphogenesis. These data contribute to a growing body of evidence linking growth regulators with changes in peroxidase gene expression and to the concept of pairs of hormones playing antagonistic roles during plant development. Finally, we discuss the possible functions that peroxidases could have during ABA-induced turion formation and growth inhibition.

متن کاملComparative effects of abscisic acid and two Sulfonamide compounds on tomato under drought conditions . Leila Zeinali Yadegari*, Reza Heidari, Jalil Khara
The effects of exogenous abscisic acid (ABA) and its two agonists, Sulfacetamide (Sa) and Sulfasalazine (SS) on tolerance of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. Cv. Super chief) under drought stress were studied. Eight-week plants were treated with ABA (25 and 50 mg/L), Sulfacetamide (Sa) (25, 50 and 100 mg/L) and Sulfasalazine (SS) (25, 50 and 100 mg/L). Solutions were sprayed daily and samp...

INTRODUCTION The accelerated biodegradation of 3-nitrophenol (3-NP) in the rhizosphere of giant duckweed (Spirodela polyrrhiza) was investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS Biodegradation of 3-nitrophenol in the rhizosphere of a floating aquatic plant, S. polyrrhiza, was investigated by using three river water samples supplemented with 10 mg l(-1) of 3-NP. Isolation and enrichment culture of 3-NP-...

Vegetative fronds of Spirodela polyrrhiza were induced to form dormant turions by the addition of 1 micromolar abscisic acid or by shading. The cell wall polymers of fronds contained a high proportion of the branched-chain pentose, d-apiose (about 20% of total noncellulosic wall sugar residues), whereas turion cell walls contained only trace amounts (about 0.2%). When the fronds were fed d-[(3)...
متن کاملInteractions between Chromium and Plant Growth Regulators on the Growth of Spirodela polyrrhiza (L.) Schleiden
Chromium is one of the most toxic heavy metals which reduces the growth of plants at relatively low concentrations, whereas IAA, kinetin, GA3 and 24-epibrassinolide (24-epiBr) are well known plant growth regulators (PGRs) which enhance the growth of plants. The present study was undertaken to determine the effect of binary combinations of Cr(VI) and PGRs on Spirodela polyrrhiza (L.) Schleiden, ...
