Changes in catecholamine levels in short day-induced cotyledons of Pharbitis nil.

چکیده
We investigated the effects of catecholamine on flower-induction in P. nil (cv. Violet). GC-SIM analysis identified dopamine for the first time in P. nil seedlings. Dopamine levels in the cotyledons did not show a significant change during the inducing dark treatment. The dopamine content of cotyledons exposed to various durations of darkness were 0.1-0.2 nmol/g fresh weight. The same content was found when cotyledons were exposed to continuous light.

Molecular cloning and expression analysis of a CONSTANS homologue, PnCOL1, from Pharbitis nil.
The Arabidopsis CONSTANS (CO) gene is a key regulator of the long day (LD)-dependent flowering pathway and two CO homologous genes COL1 and COL2 are involved in the regulation of the circadian rhythm. In order to understand the role of CO and COL in short-day plants, a CO homologue, PnCOL1, was isolated and characterized from Japanese morning glory (Pharbitis nil). The deduced PnCOL1 protein of...
متن کاملEffect of Photoperiodic Floral Induction on the Metabolism of a Gibberellin Precursor, (-)-Kaurene, in Pharbitis nil.
Pharbitis nil seedlings rapidly metabolized (-)-kaurene-17-(14)C administered to the cotyledons. Less than 20% of the radioactivity was recovered by extraction of the cotyledons on the following day. Of this the major metabolite was an unidentified acidic material which did not correspond chromatographically to any of the known gibberellins.Significant differences were observed between the radi...
متن کاملStress-Induced Flowering in Pharbitis—A Review
Many plant species are induced to flower by stress. Stress-induced flowering has been studied mostly in the short-day plant pharbitis (also called Japanese morning glory; Ipomoea nil, formerly Pharbitis nil). In this article, physiological characteristics, the regulation by salicylic acid (SA) and the expression of flowering-related genes in stress-induced flowering in pharbitis are reviewed. P...

متن کاملAllene oxide cyclase is essential for theobroxide-induced jasmonic acid biosynthesis in Pharbitis nil.
Theobroxide, a natural product, strongly stimulates the biosynthesis of jasmonic acid (JA) in Pharbitis nil. In this study, we investigated the accumulation of protein by the immunoblot analysis of lipoxygenase (LOX), allene oxide synthase (AOS), and allene oxide cyclase (AOC), key enzymes in JA biosynthesis, and how the endogenous levels of JA in P. nil are affected by theobroxide. The effect ...
