Abscisic Acid stimulates elongation of excised pea root tips.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Excised Pisum sativum L. root tips were incubated in a pH 5.2 sucrose medium containing abscisic acid. Elongation growth was inhibited by 100 mum abscisic acid. However, decreasing the abscisic acid concentration caused stimulation of elongation, the maximum response (25% to 30%) occurring at 1 mum abscisic acid. Prior to two hours, stimulation of elongation by 1 mum abscisic acid was not detectable. Increased elongation did not occur in abscisic acid-treated root tips of Lens culinaris L., Phaseolus vulgaris L., or Zea mays L.

Auxin and the response of pea roots to auxin transport inhibitors: morphactin.
The auxin transport inhibitor methyl-2-chloro-9-hydroxyfluorene-9-carboxylate (CFM), a morphactin, inhibits negative geotropism, causes cellular swelling, and induces root hair formation in roots of intact Pisum sativum L. seedlings. In excised pea root tips, CFM inhibits elongation more than increase in fresh weight (swell ratio = 1.3 at 20 mum CFM). CFM growth inhibition was expressed in the ...
متن کاملStimulation of root elongation and curvature by calcium.
Ca2+ has been proposed to mediate inhibition of root elongation. However, exogenous Ca2+ at 10 or 20 millimolar, applied directly to the root cap, significantly stimulated root elongation in pea (Pisum sativum L.) and corn (Zea mays L.) seedlings. Furthermore, Ca2+ at 1 to 20 millimolar, applied unilaterally to the caps of Alaska pea roots, caused root curvature away from the Ca2+ source, whi...
متن کاملInhibitory action of auxin on root elongation not mediated by ethylene.
The inhibitory effects of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) on elongation growth of pea (Pisum sativum L.) seedling roots were investigated in relation to the effects of these compounds on ethylene production by the root tips. When added to the growth solution both compounds caused a progressively increasing inhibition of growth within the concentration ...
متن کاملAbscisic Acid Regulates Auxin Homeostasis in Rice Root Tips to Promote Root Hair Elongation
Abscisic acid (ABA) plays an essential role in root hair elongation in plants, but the regulatory mechanism remains to be elucidated. In this study, we found that exogenous ABA can promote rice root hair elongation. Transgenic rice overexpressing SAPK10 (Stress/ABA-activated protein kinase 10) had longer root hairs; rice plants overexpressing OsABIL2 (OsABI-Like 2) had attenuated ABA signaling ...
متن کاملEffects of Cycloheximide on Indoleacetic Acid-induced Ethylene Production in Pea Root Tips.
Cycloheximide inhibited ethylene production in excised pea root tips treated with high levels of indoleacetic acid (100 mum and 10 mum). In contrast, cycloheximide did not inhibit ethylene production induced by a lower concentration (1 mum) of indoleacetic acid unless it was added 2 hours before the indoleacetic acid treatment. These observations suggest that indoleacetic acid has two effects o...
