Abstract: | The excretion of cytokinins into the cultivating medium, which are produced by the phytopathogenic fungiMonilia sp. andCytospora sp. has been investigated. All the isolates of the fungi used in the experiments (Monilia fructicola, Monilia fructigena, isolate 2 and 4,Monilia laxa isolate 3 andCytospora sp. isolate CPL and C1) have been found to produce cytokinins. The production is increased during the formation of the fructification organs. Among the isolates investigatedMonilia fructigena isolate 4 andCytospora sp. isolate CPL showed the highest production of cytokinins. After chromatographic separation, cytokinin activity was found at RF 0.7–0.8 values by the biological test as well as by identification according to UV spectra. Application of purified cytokinins produced by the fungi evoked the formation of “green islands” on isolated barley leaves underin vitro conditions. |
