Distribution of Indoleacetic Acid Oxidase and Inhibitors in Light-Grown Cotton.
نویسنده
چکیده
Extracts of green plant tissues exhibiting IAAoxidase activity characteristically contain inhibitors of the enzyme (4, 11). The high concentration of such inhibitors prompted the discoverers of IAAoxidase to suggest that the system does not function in green tissue (16). Later, Galston and Dalberg (6) found that in etiolated tissue the in vitro IAAoxidase activity increases with age or IAA treatment. Similar studies of this enzyme in green tissue have been handicapped by the presence of the inhibitory substances. As will be pointed out in the discussion, the limiting effect of this handicap on other work has clearly left the adaptation and distribution of IAA-oxidase in green plants an open question. The recent finding that riboflavin and light will reduce or eliminate the effect of native inhibitors (11) has provided a method to survey the potential IAA destroying capacity of various green tissues and facilitated the present study. Cotton contains an IAA-oxidase-inhibitor system (11). This paper presents evidence for an increase, with age, of IAA-oxidase activity in light-grown cotton tissues. The evidence is compatible with the in vivo function of the enzyme proposed by Galston and Dalberg (6).

Stimulation of indoleacetic Acid oxidase and inhibition of catalase in cotton extracts by plant acids.
Activity of indoleacetic acid oxidase in partially purified extracts from cotton is stimulated by small amounts of malate, succinate, fumarate, and other plant acids. The stimulation is apparently due to inhibition of catalase, which is detectable in certain preparations. The lag phase of indoleacetic acid oxidation by crude preparations is eliminated by steps in processing which conceivably ei...
متن کاملEffect of manganese toxicity on the indoleacetic Acid oxidase system of cotton.
The effect of substrate manganese on tissue manganese levels and activity of the indoleacetic acid (IAA)-oxidase system of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum, L.) was investigated. A sand culture technique was used with 1, 3, 9, 27 and 81 mg manganese (MnSO(4)) per liter nutrient solution applied in various experiments.The following relationships held for both long-term (126 days) and short-term (12-14...
متن کاملOn the ability of Taphrina deformans to produce indoleacetic acid from tryptophan by way of tryptamine.
The metabolism of tryptophan by Taphrina deformans has been studied to confirm the reported ability of this organism to produce tryptamine. Such amine production was not observed, despite use of amine oxidase inhibitors at levels which should have resulted in the accumulation of tryptamine in the medium. It has been shown that the metabolites of tryptophan include indolepyruvic acid, indolelact...

Basipetal auxin transport in 6-day-old dark-grown corn coleoptiles was severely inhibited by increasing levels of glyphosate applied during the transport period.The velocity of basipetal transport of [(14)C]indoleacetic acid in hypocotyls from 7-day-old cotton seedlings was significantly reduced when sublethal doses of glyphosate [N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine] were applied to the cotyledonary lea...
