چکیده
Hooked apex stolons and initial swelling stolons of potato plants were treated with 3 x 10-8 mol l-1 jasmonic acid (JA) to study the effect of this compound on histology, cell expansion and tissue differentiation. In hooked apex stolons, JA application increased the meristem thickness and reduced the length of the leaf primordia, whereas in initial swelling stolons narrowing of the apical region, absence of leaf primordia and swelling of the subapical meristem were evident. Early vascular tissue differentiation was observed in response to JA treatment, especially of xylem elements from regions proximal to the tunic. Protoxylem elements, such as tracheal elements, were present with thin primary cell walls. The cell area was measured in two zones: zone I, central mother cells situated immediately under the tunic; and zone II, rib meristem cells. JA caused a four- and six-fold increase in cell area in both zones in hooked apex stolons and initial swelling stolons, respectively. Thus, tuber formation is concluded to occur as a consequence of increased cell expansion, a reduction in the length of leaf primordia, enlargement of meristems, and early vascular tissue differentiation.

Lipoxygenase is involved in the control of potato tuber development.
Plant lipoxygenases (LOXs) are a functionally diverse class of dioxygenases implicated in physiological processes such as growth, senescence, and stress-related responses. LOXs incorporate oxygen into their fatty acid substrates and produce hydroperoxide fatty acids that are precursors of jasmonic acid and related compounds. Here, we report the involvement of the tuber-associated LOXs, designat...
متن کاملStress Messengers Jasmonic Acid and Abscisic Acid Negatively Regulate Plant Cell Cycle
Environmental stress affects plant growth and development. Several plant hormones, such as salicylic acid, abscisic acid, jasmonic acid and ethylene play a crucial role in altering plant morphology in response to stress. Developmental regulation often has the cell cycle machinery among its targets. We analyzed the effect of jasmonic acid (JA) and abscisic acid (ABA) on cell cycle progression in...
متن کاملTHE EFFECTS OF SALT STRESS ON THE SHOOT APICAL MERISTEM AND LEAF GENIERATION IN SUNFLOWER (HELIANTNUS ANNUUS L.)
Sunflower (Helictnthur annuus L. cvs Mehr Shafagh) seedlings were grown in nutrient solutions containing 20.5 to 70.4 mM NaCl and 0 as the control. The effects of salinity on developmental changes occurring in the shoot apices of plants were studied. At 20.5 mM NaCI concentration, the leaf emergence rate and plastochron index of Shafagh increased significantly, but this phenomenon was not o...

Effects of paclobutrazol and jasmonic acid on potato minituber production and some plant characteristics in aeroponic cultivation system
In this research, the acclimatized in vitro plants were transferred to the aeroponic system and the effects of paclobutrazol (PBZ) and jasmonic acid (JA) were investigated on the production of potato (Solanum tuberosum L. cvs Agria and Svalan) minitubers. Some plant characteristics were also investigated in this cultivation system, under greenhouse conditions. Plants were foliar sprayed with PB...
