Is ABA the earliest upstream inhibitor of apical dominance?

چکیده
Axillary bud growth – and specifically its release from apical dominance – has been a longstanding and complex area of research. Many phytohormone systems, as well as sugar signaling, have been implicated. Now, Holalu and Finlayson (see pages 943–952) have found compelling evidence that a much less-studied hormone in this context – abscisic acid (ABA) – may, in fact, be one of the first upstream factors regulating apical dominance responses to the R:FR ratio.

Hormone Levels and Apical Dominance in the Aquatic Fern Marsilea drummondii A. Br.
Terminal buds and successively subjacent lateral buds of the water fern, Marsilea drummondii, were examined to determine the pattern of hormone distribution in relation to apical dominance. Quantitative levels of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), abscisic acid (ABA), zeatin and zeatin riboside (Z and ZR), and isopentenyladenosine (iPA) were determined by a solid-phase immunoassay using polycional ant...
متن کاملDominance in the Antiarsonate Response
Although idiotypic dominance was first observed over a decade ago in the antiarsonate (ABA) 1 system (1), its mechanism remains enigmatic. It was initially postulated that B cell clones expressing a dominant idiotype were preferentially expanded because they had higher affinities for antigen than their less successful competitors (2). Subsequent studies (2) showed, however, that anti-ABA antibo...

Abscisic acid (ABA) plays a key role in the control of stomatal aperture by regulating ion channel activities and water exchanges across the plasma membrane of guard cells. Changes in cytoplasmic calcium content and activation of anion and outward-rectifying K(+) channels are among the earliest cellular responses to ABA in guard cells. In Arabidopsis suspension cells, we have demonstrated that ...

The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that the interaction between abscisic acid (ABA) and ethylene may be involved in mediating the post-anthesis development of spikelets in rice (Oryza sativa L.). Two rice genotypes were field-grown, and the changes of ABA, ethylene, and 1-aminocylopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) levels in spikelets during grain filling and their relationships ...

Micro-propagation of olive provides the possibility of producing clones of native plants with appropriate attributes and mass reproduction in short period of time, compared to conventional methods. Apical dominance in olive explants limits the growth of lateral branches in vitro. The effect of Woody Plant Medium (WPM), Olive Medium (OM) and Murashig and Skoog (MS) with carbohydrate source (mann...
