Indoleacetic acid at 0.017 millimolar inhibited the formation of three peroxidase isoenzymes in both soluble and wall-bound enzyme fractions of wheat coleoptile (Triticum vulgare) tissue. Hydroxyproline at 1 millimolar prevented the indoleacetic acid-induced inhibition. Indoleacetic acid oxidase activity in the soluble fraction was decreased by indoleacetic acid and was restored by hydroxyproli...

The uptake and accumulation of exogenous indoleacetic acid-(14)C by intact rice coleoptiles were examined. The absorption of exogenous indoleacetic acid was controlled by phytochrome, while the subsequent accumulation of this indoleacetic acid in various portions of the coleoptile was complex, and the effect of red light in this system was small compared to the alteration of the uptake of indol...

The wheat Green Revolution Rht-B1b and Rht-D1b dwarfing alleles are associated with increased grain yields but also reduced early growth seedling emergence, especially if sowing conditions unfavourable. gibberellic acid-responsive, mutagen-derived Rht18 gene was backcrossed from durum (Triticum turgidum subsp. L.) cv. Icaro into tall bread aestivum Halberd using phenotypic selection for plant h...

Objective: In order to investigate effects of different concentrations of poly amines Sprimidin and Putrescine on germination of Arg cultivar under salinity stress. Methods: This experiment was conducted as factorial based on completely randomized design with four replicates in agronomy and plant breeding laboratory, Agricultural department, Islamic Azad University, Varamin-Pishva Branch in spr...

This paper reports an effect of indole-3-acetic acid on cell membrane potentials. Solutions with increasing IAA concentrations (from 109 to 10-7 M) make membrane potentials of coleop-tile cells more negative. This effect of IAA, which occurs at concentrations that also stimulate tissue elongation, was found inadvertently in the course of an experiment on the effect of IAA on cell wall potential...
