No influence of the embryonic axis on the development of diamine oxidase in pea cotyledons.

چکیده
A reexamination has been made for the supposed regulation of pea (Pisum sativum cv Alaska) cotyledonary diamine oxidase (EC 1.4.3.6) activity by the embryonic axis. When dry cotyledons from which the embryo and testa have been removed surgically are imbibed by soaking in water, there is little increase of the enzyme activity during subsequent incubation on filter paper. However, if the dry cotyledons are imbibed and maintained on filter paper from the first, the increase of the enzyme activity is similar to that in the intact seedling. Thus, rapid imbibition of the isolated dry cotyledons is responsible for repression of enzyme development, and a role for the axis need not be invoked.

Somatic Embryogenesis and Plant Regeneration from Embryonic Axes and Cotyledons Explants of Tea (Camellia sinenesis L.)
In the present study, 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2, 4-D) was assessed individually for its effectiveness to induce somatic embryogenesis in tea (Camellia sinenesis L.). Embryonic axes and cotyledons explants were dissected from the seeds. Explants were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing 0, 1 and 5 mM 2, 4-D alone for embryonic axes and 0, 1 and 5 mM 2, 4-D along with 0...

A crude proteolytic enzyme preparation which hydrolyzes casein was isolated from the cotyledons of squash seedlings. The presence of ethylene diamine tetraacetate or cysteine did not appreciably affect the activity of the preparation. During the course of germination, the level of proteolytic activity increased in the cotyledons of intact embryos through the third day and then decreased. The pr...

The environmental conditions which the parent plant has undergone during seed development can affect many properties of the seeds such as degree of dormancy, weight and the amount of their compounds. In this study, mature pistachio seeds of Ahmadaghaei cultivar, collected from the two cities of Rafsanjan and Shahrbabak located in Kerman Province (Iran), were compared. It was found that the seed...

l-Leucine-U-(14)C was incorporated into mitochondrial protein in pea (Pisum sativum var. Alaska) cotyledons during the imbibing stages. Incorporation was almost completely inhibited by cycloheximide but not by chloramphenicol. Both antibiotics did not affect increases in mitochondrial activities and components of the cotyledons during imbibition. Therefore, mitochondrial development seems to be...
متن کاملHistology of Organogenic and Embryogenic Responses in Cotyledons of Somatic Embryos of Quercus Suber L.
In cork oak (Quercus suber L.), recurrent embryogenesis is produced in vitro through autoembryony without exogenous plant growth regulators (PGRs); secondary embryos appear on the embryo axis but seldom on cotyledons. Focusing mainly on the histological origin of neoformations, we investigated the influence of the embryo axis and exogenous PGRs on the embryogenic potential of somatic embryo cot...
