Effects of wounding on cytokinin activity in cucumber cotyledons.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Three known physiological responses to exogenous cytokinins were measured in wounded and nonwounded cotyledons from cucumber (Cucumis sativus L. cv Marketer) seedlings grown in darkness. Enhanced cell division, chlorophyll formation, and cotyledon expansion were detected in wounded cotyledons. The data suggest that wounding enhances endogenous cytokinin activity.

Transcriptional regulation by light and phytohormones of the MGD gene in cucumber.
Monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG) synthase catalyses formation of MGDG, a major structural lipid of chloroplasts. We have already cloned a cDNA for the synthase from a cucumber cDNA library and shown that expression of this gene is regulated by light and a phytohormone, cytokinin. In the present study, we report the molecular basis for transcriptional regulation by light and cytokinin in deta...
متن کاملLight and cytokinin play a co-operative role in MGDG synthesis in greening cucumber cotyledons.
The current research investigated the regulation of monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG) biosynthesis, catalyzed by MGDG synthase (MGD) (UDP-galactose:1,2-diacylglycerol 3-beta-D-galactosyltransferase; EC 2.4.1.46), during chloroplast development in cucumbers (Cucumis sativus L. cv. Aonagajibai). In etiolated seedlings, white light induced a transient increase in MGD mRNA, followed by a subseque...
متن کاملThe level of mRNA transcribed from psaL, which encodes a subunit of photosystem I, is increased by cytokinin in darkness in etiolated cotyledons of cucumber.
A cDNA clone for an mRNA whose level increased within 2 h of the start of treatment with N6-benzyladenine in etiolated cotyledons of cucumber was isolated by differential hybridization. The cDNA was homologous to psaL, which encodes subunit XI (PSI-L) of photosystem I. The accumulation of psaL mRNA was specifically induced by cytokinins or light.
متن کاملIsolation and Estimation of Cytokinins and Cytokinin-Containing Transfer RNAs from Cucumis sativus L. var. Guntur Seedlings.
N(6)-(Delta(2)-Isopentenyl) adenosine antibodies were used for the isolation of free cytokinins and cytokinin-containing tRNAs from parts of Cucumis sativus L. var. Guntur seedlings and for the estimation of cytokinins in them. Immobilized N(6)-(Delta(2)-isopentenyl) adenosine antibodies retained tRNAs containing N(6)-(Delta(2)-isopentenyl) adenosine and N(6)-(4-hydroxy-3-methylbut-2-enyl) aden...
متن کاملCytokinin-induced wall extensibility in excised cotyledons of radish and cucumber.
The mechanism of cytokinin-induced cell expansion in cotyledons excised from dark-grown seedlings of radish (Raphanus sativus L.) and cucumber (Cucumus sativus L.) was studied. Cotyledons were incubated in dim light with or without 17 micromolar zeatin for periods up to 3 days. Fresh weights and osmotic potentials were measured daily. Cell wall extensibility properties were measured before and ...
