In this paper we investigated the effect of some phytohormones on the production of flavonoids in cell suspension cultures of Digitalis lanata. There were used two cell lines and different combinations and concentrations of phytohormones. The highest flavonoids amounts were obtained after 14 days of treatment. Among the tested combinations, the highest yield of flavonoids, 7.58 mg/g d.w. (dry w...

Kinetics of enzymic oxidation of indoleacetic acid (ISA) are interpreted as indicating that the reaction has an autocatalytic, cyclical mechanism invol\-ing unst,ablc intermcdiatcs whose formation and disappearance are important in determining the over-all reaction rate. The kinetics do not supporl the idea that IAA oxidation occurs mainly by reaction with Mnt3, nor that the reaction is an elec...

Bradyrhizobium japonicum E109 is a bacterium widely used for inoculants production in Argentina. It known its ability to produce several phytohormones and degrade indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). The genome sequence of B. was recently analyzed it showed the presence genes related synthesis IAA by indole-3-acetonitrile, indole-3-acetamide tryptamine pathways. Nevertheless, not able instead has this h...

Several factors which influence the translocation patterns of stem-injected indoleacetic acid, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, and 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid in bean seedlings (Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv. Stringless Greenpod) were characterized. The acropetal translocation of auxin from the site of injection is markedly sensitive to concentration in the range of 1.0 to 5.0 micrograms per p...

The rate of auxin transport in sunflower hypocotyls (Helianthus annuus L. cv ;Russian mammoth') or corn coleoptiles (Zea mays L. cv ;WF9 x 38') was less in seedlings grown in Ca-deficient medium than in controls. The rate of IAA transport depended on the concentration of Ca in the root medium up to 1 millimolar. Further increases in auxin transport were observed when the isolated segments were ...

We have characterized the transport of [(3)H]indoleacetic acid (IAA) in intact corn (Zea mays L.) coleoptiles. We have used a wide range of concentrations of added IAA (28 femtomoles to 100 picomoles taken up over 60 minutes). The shape of the transport curve varies with the concentration of added IAA, although the rate of movement of the observed front of tracer is invariant with concentration...
