چکیده

Terminal buds of dark-grown pea (Pisum sativum) seedlings have an indole-3-acetic acid oxidase which does not require Mn(2+) and 2,4-dichlorophenol as cofactors. Oxidase activity is at least 50 times higher in buds of tall peas than in dwarf seedlings. Administration of gibberellic acid to dwarf peas stimulates both growth and indoleacetic acid oxidase activity to the same levels as in tall seedlings. By contrast, indoleacetic acid oxidation assayed in the presence of Mn(2+) and 2,4-dichlorophenol proceeds at similar rates regardless of gibberellin application. Treatment of tall peas with the growth retardant AMO-1618 reduces growth and oxidase activity. Such treated seedlings are indistinguishably dwarf. The enzyme does not appear to be polyphenol oxidase, nor do the results suggest that reduced activity in dwarf buds is due to higher levels of a dialyzable inhibitor. The peroxidative nature of the oxidase is probable.

Gibberellin-auxin interaction in pea stem elongation.

Joint application of gibberellic acid and indole-3-acetic acid to excised stem sections, terminal cuttings, and decapitated plants of a green dwarf pea results in a markedly synergistic growth response to these hormones. Synergism in green tall pea stem sections is comparatively small, although growth is kinetically indistinguishable from similarly treated dwarf sections.Gibberellin-induced gro...

Inactivity of 3-methyleneoxindole as mediator of auxin action on cell elongation.

The recently reported growth-promoting ability of 3-methyl-eneoxindole was examined in order to test the hypothesis that indole-3-acetic acid acts as a growth promoter only after oxidative conversion to 3-methyleneoxindole. Methyleneoxindole was synthesized from indole-3-acetic acid and N-bromosuccinimide, and its identity was confirmed by ultraviolet absorption, infrared absorption, mass spect...

The Binding of Indole-3-acetic Acid and 3-Methyleneoxindole to Plant Macromolecules.

Homogenates of pea (Pisum sativum L., var. Alaska) seedlings exposed to (14)C-indole-3-acetic acid or (14)C-3-methyleneoxindole, an oxidation product of indole-3-acetic acid, were extracted with phenol. In both cases 90% of the bound radioactivity was found associated with the protein fraction and 10% with the water-soluble, ethanol-insoluble fraction. The binding of radioactivity from (14)C-in...

Oxindole-3-acetic Acid, an Indole-3-acetic Acid Catabolite in Zea mays.

A prior study (13) from this laboratory showed that oxidation of exogenously applied indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) to oxindole-3-acetic acid (OxIAA) is the major catabolic pathway for IAA in Zea mays endosperm. In this work, we demonstrate that OxIAA is a naturally occurring compound in shoot and endosperm tissue of Z. mays and that the amount of OxIAA in both shoot and endosperm tissue is approxi...

Inhibitory oxidation products of indole-3-acetic Acid: 3-hydroxymethyloxindole and 3-methyleneoxindole as plant metabolites.

Extracts of pea seedlings (Pisum sativum, variety Alaska) oxidize indole-3-acetic acid to a bacteriostatic compound which has been identified as 3-hydroxymethyloxindole. At physiological pH this compound is readily dehydrated to 3-methyleneoxindole, another bacteriostatic agent. The extracts of pea seedlings also contain a reduced triphosphopyridine nucleotide-linked enzyme which reduces 3-meth...
