trans-Ribosylzeatin: Its Biosynthesis in Zea mays Endosperm and the Mycorrhizal Fungus, Rhizopogon roseolus.
نویسندگان
چکیده
When [8-(14)C]-N(6)-(Delta(2)-isopentenyl) adenosine is incubated with the endosperm of corn (2 weeks after pollination), it is converted to [(14)C]-N(6)-(4-hydroxy-3-methylbut-2-trans-enyl) adenosine, trans-ribosylzeatin. This biosynthetic step, N(6)-(Delta(2)-isopentenyl) adenosine to ribosylzeatin, also occurs in the mycorrhizal fungus, Rhizopogon roseolus.

Detection and identification of cytokinins produced by mycorrhizal fungi.
Several fungi including six species of the genus Rhizopogon, 22 species of Hebeloma and one of Agaricus have been screened for production of cytokinins. The screening was done by culturing cytokinin-requiring soybean callus tissue alongside the fungus on a medium lacking a cytokinin supply. Growth of the soybean callus indicated production of cytokinins by the fungus. Of the fungi tested, only ...
متن کاملFirst report of Rhizopogon roseolus in Iran
Rhizopogon is a hypogeous fungal genus that grows in an ectomycorrhizal symbiosis mostly with members of the Pinaceae family and its worldwide distribution correlates with natural and exotic Pinaceae forests. In Iran, Rhizopogon species have received scant attention from collectors in the past and have not been adequately collected. Few older studies, report the presence of R. luteolus (Saber 1...
متن کاملA maize cytokinin gene encoding an O-glucosyltransferase specific to cis-zeatin.
Zeatin is a naturally occurring cytokinin. Biosynthesis and metabolism studies of zeatin have been directed mostly at the trans isomer, although cis-zeatin and its riboside occur as major components in some plant species. It is not known whether parallel regulatory pathways exist for the two isomers. Based on the sequence of the gene ZOG1 encoding a trans-zeatin O-glucosyltransferase from Phase...
متن کاملArbuscular mycorrhizae improves photosynthesis and water status of Zea mays L. under drought stress
The influences of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus on growth, gas exchange, chlorophyll concentration, chlorophyll fluorescence and water status of maize (Zea mays L.) plants were studied in pot culture under well-watered and drought stress conditions. The maize plants were grown in a sand and black soil mixture for 4 weeks, and then exposed to drought stress for 4 weeks. Drought stress signi...
متن کاملEffectiveness of mycorrhizal inoculation in the nursery on growth and water relations of Pinus radiata in different water regimes.
We compared the performance of mycorrhiza-inoculated and non-inoculated radiata pine (Pinus radiata D. Don) seedlings in two field studies. In the first study, above ground growth of 2-year-old container-grown trees was compared after planting in two areas that differed in water availability. Mycorrhizal inoculation significantly improved above ground growth in the 2 years after planting in bot...
