Biological and chemical properties of the epidioxide isomer of abscisic Acid and its rearrangement products.

چکیده
The growth inhibitory activity of the epidioxide (II), a precursor in the synthesis of abscisic acid (ABA), has been confirmed with additional assay systems. Under physiological conditions the epidioxide is rearranged to give ABA and an isomer of ABA which has probably the structure V. This major product has very low, if any, biological activity. The biological activity of the epidioxide is explained by its partial conversion (about 20%) to ABA. The reaction rate was enhanced by heavy metal ions and decreased by EDTA. At pH 12.5, the decomposition of the epidioxide is slower than it is near neutrality and ABA is the predominant product. In the biological systems studied the activity of the epidioxide can be accounted for by nonenzymatic conversion to ABA.

Investigation of the interaction between abscisic acid (ABA) and excess benzyladenine (BA) on the formation of shoot in tissue culture of tea (Camellia sinensis L.)
The effect of abscisic acid (ABA) and excess benzyladenine (BA) on the formation of shoot from tea (Camellia sinensis L. assamica × sinensis) leaf was investigated in this research. Callus was formed and grew well when explants were cultured on LS basal medium supplemented with (in mg/L) thiamine-HCl, 1.25; pyridoxine-HCl, 0.625; nicotinic acid, 0.625; indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), 30; naphthalen...

Phytohormones are present in seaweeds but little is known about occurrence and content of them in seaweeds of Persian Gulf. The aim of this study was extraction of abscisic acid and gibberellin in Sargassum muticum and Gracilaria corticata. The seaweeds were collected bimonthly over one year at Bushehr coasts, Persian Gulf, during a range of environmental conditions. We explored new HPLC method...
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...
