چکیده
Gibberellin A(1) (GA(1)), 3-epi-GA(1), GA(4), GA(9), 11alpha-hydroxyGA(12), 12alpha-hydroxyGA(12), GA(15), GA(17), GA(19), GA(20), GA(25), GA(37), GA(40), GA(58), GA(69), GA(70), and GA(71) have been identified from Kovats retention indices and full scan mass spectra by capillary GC-MS analyses of purified extracts from sporophytes of the tree fern, Cibotium glaucum. Abscisic acid, dihydrophaseic acid, an epimer of 4'-dihydrophaseic acid, and the epimeric ent-6alpha, 7alpha, 16alpha, 17-(OH)(4) and ent-6alpha, 7alpha, 16beta, 17-(OH)(4) derivatives of ent16, 17-dihydrokaurenoic acid, in addition to the epimeric 16alpha, 17- and 16beta, 17-dihydroxy-16, 17-dihydro derivatives of GA(12), were also identified in extracts of C. glaucum. An oxodihydrophaseic acid and a hydroxydihydrophaseic acid were also detected. In extracts of sporophytes of Dicksonia antarctica, GA(4), GA(9), 12alpha- and 12beta-hydroxyGA(12), GA(15), GA(25), and GA(37) were identified by the same criteria, as well as abscisic acid, phaseic acid, 8'-hydroxymethylabscisic acid and dihydrophaseic acid. This is the first time that GA(40) has been identified in a higher plant; it is also the first report of the natural occurrence of the two gibberellins, 11alpha- and 12beta-hydroxyGA(12). The total gibberellin (GA) content in C. glaucum (tall) was at least one order of magnitude greater than that of D. antarctica (dwarf) based on total ion current response in GC-MS and bioassay data. Abscisic acid was a major component of D. antarctica and the oxodihydrophaseic acid was a major component of C. glaucum.

Non-linear growth in tree ferns, Dicksonia antarctica and Cyathea australis
Tree ferns are an important structural component of forests in many countries. However, because their regeneration is often unrelated to major disturbances, their age is often difficult to determine. In addition, rates of growth may not be uniform, which further complicates attempts to determine their age. In this study, we measured 5 years of growth of Cyathea australis and Dicksonia antarctic...
متن کاملScaling of Frond Form in Hawaiian Tree Fern Cibotium glaucum: Compliance with Global Trends and Application for Field Estimation
Large-fronded tree ferns are critical components of many tropical forests. We investigated frond and whole-plant allometries for Hawaiian keystone species Cibotium glaucum, for prediction and to compare with global scaling relationships. We found that C. glaucum fronds maintain geometric proportionality across a wide range of plant and frond sizes. These relationships result in strong allometri...
متن کاملTree ferns: monophyletic groups and their relationships as revealed by four protein-coding plastid loci.
Tree ferns are a well-established clade within leptosporangiate ferns. Most of the 600 species (in seven families and 13 genera) are arborescent, but considerable morphological variability exists, spanning the giant scaly tree ferns (Cyatheaceae), the low, erect plants (Plagiogyriaceae), and the diminutive endemics of the Guayana Highlands (Hymenophyllopsidaceae). In this study, we investigate ...
متن کاملIdentification of Ten Gibberellins from Sporophytes of the Tree fern, Cyathea australis.
Ten gibberellins (GAs) have been identified by Kovats retention indices and full mass spectra from GC-MS analysis of purified extracts of sporophytes of the tree-fern, Cyathea australis. These include the known GA(1), GA(4), GA(9), GA(15), GA(24), GA(35), and GA(58) and three new GAs, 12beta-hydroxyGA(9) (GA(69)), 12alpha-hydroxyGA(9) (GA(70)) and 12beta-hydroxyGA(4) (GA(71)). The structure of ...
متن کاملInteractive effects of high irradiance and moderate heat on photosynthesis, pigments, and tocopherol in the tree-fern Dicksonia antarctica
Effects of high irradiance and moderate heat on photosynthesis of the tree-fern Dicksonia antarctica (Labill., Dicksoniaceae) were examined in a climate chamber under two contrasting irradiance regimes (900 and 170mmol photonsm s) and three sequential temperature treatments (15 C; 35 C; back to 15 C). High irradiance led to decline in predawn quantum yield of photochemistry, Fv/Fm (0.73), maxim...
