The precision and accuracy of a radioimmunoassay (RIA) for 3-indoleacetic acid (IAA) were assessed when applied to the analysis of extracts from Pinus sylvestris seedlings. It was found that extracts contained contaminants that adversely affected both the precision and accuracy of quantitative estimates of IAA. When samples were subjected to purification procedures prior to RIA, accurate and more precise estimates were obtained. Parallel analysis with high performance liquid chromatography using a fluorescence detector (HPLC-FL) indicated that HPLC-FL provided accurate estimates of the IAA content of Pinus extracts at the same stage of purification as RIA. The precision of HPLC-FL estimates was similar to that obtained with RIA. 相似文献

Leaf senescence is an important developmental process for the plant life cycle. It is controlled by endogenous and environmental factors and can be positively or negatively affected by plant growth regulators. It is characterised by major and significant changes in the patterns of gene expression. Auxin, especially indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), is a plant growth hormone that affects plant growth and development. The effect of IAA on leaf senescence is still unclear. In this study, we performed microarray analysis to investigate the role of IAA on gene expression during senescence in Arabidopsis thaliana. We sprayed IAA on plants at 3 different time points (27, 31 or 35 days after sowing). Following spraying, PSII activity of the eighth leaf was evaluated daily by measurement of chlorophyll fluorescence parameters. Our results show that PSII activity decreased following IAA application and the IAA treatment triggered different gene expression responses in leaves of different ages. 相似文献

SummaryIndole-3-acetic acid (IAA) enhanced the peroxidase-induced lipid peroxidation in phosphatidylcholine liposomes, as measured by loss of fluorescence of cis-parinaric acid. α-Tocopherol or β-carotene in the lipid phase or ascorbate or Trolox in the aqueous phase inhibited the loss of fluorescence induced by the peroxidase + IAA system, but glutathione had only a small inhibitory effect. The peroxyl radical formed by one-electron oxidation of IAA, followed by decarboxylation and reaction with oxygen, is suggested to act as the initiator of lipid peroxidation. The protection by ascorbate or Trolox is explained by the reactivity of these compounds with the IAA indolyl radical, as shown by pulse radiolysis experiments, whereas the weak effect of glutathione agrees with its low reactivity towards the IAA-derived peroxyl radical and its precursors. 相似文献

A high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) based micro-method for estimation of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) levels in single half nodes from the flowering stalks of Avena fatua has been developed; this features a dual electrode coulometric electrochemical detector operating at a detection limit of c. 2 pg. Samples were prepared by solvent partitioning and preliminary fractionation with C 18 Sep-Pak cartridges. Two stages of reversed phase ion pair HPLC were employed; the first was gradient elution with fluorescent detection, the second, isocratic elution with coulometric detection. The lower limit for estimation of IAA levels in purified extracts was c. 5 pg. 相似文献

A technique is described for the processing of regenerated xylem and sieve tubes from the same wound area for microscopic and quantitative comparison. Regeneration was examined in internodes of 2 developmental stages in Coleus: internode 2, elongating, characteristic of primary growth; and internode 5, non-elongating, characteristic of secondary growth. Transport of indoleacetic acid (IAA) in excised number 5 internodes of Coleus is strictly polar, in a basipetal direction, judging by a regeneration bioassay involving both sieve tube strands and xylem cells. Similar results were obtained with tomato. If isolated number 5 Coleus internodes are not treated with hormone, they regenerate no xylem cells and a small number of sieve tube strands. With increasing concentrations of IAA added apically, the number of regenerated sieve tube strands (and, with higher concentrations, of xylem cells) increases progressively up to 1% IAA, the highest concentration applied. Internode 2 of Coleus regenerates fewer xylem cells or sieve tube strands than internode 5, whether on the otherwise intact plant or with a given concentration of IAA added apically. The amount of regenerated xylem increases with added apical IAA, except that the highest concentration gives no further increase. The number of xylem cells regenerated in intact plants occurs at the same interpolated IAA concentration as in number 5 internodes. No concentration of IAA tried provided replacement of intact number of sieve tube strands in internode 2. IAA can exert a regenerative stimulus on both xylem and sieve tubes in the area immediately adjacent to the site of its application. 相似文献

Selective inhibitors were used to study the connection between nucleic acid synthesis and indoleacetic acid (IAA) induction of cell enlargement. Actinomycin D (act D) and azaguanine (azaG) almost completely inhibit IAA-induced growth in aged artichoke tuber disks when they are added simultaneously with IAA. In contrast, when they are added 24 hours after the hormone, these inhibitors have little or no effect on the induced growth which continues for 48 hours or more with little or no inhibition. Inhibitors of protein synthesis still stop growth when applied 24 hours after the IAA, thus protein synthesis and presumably supporting metabolism are still essential. In corn coleoptile sections auxin-induced growth did not show any pronounced tendency to become less sensitive to act D as the IAA treatment progressed. Act D did not completely inhibit the response to IAA unless the sections were pretreated with act D for 6 hours. In contrast to act D, cordycepin produced almost complete inhibition of IAA-induced growth when added with the IAA. Although IAA has a very large and very rapid stimulatory effect (within 10 min) on incorporation of 32P-orthophosphate into RNA in disks, it did not cause a detectable change in the base composition of the RNA synthesized. Furthermore, the promotive effect could be accounted for through increased uptake of the 32P. That much of the RNA synthesis in these tissues is not necessary for auxin action is indicated by the results with fluorouracil (FU). FU strongly inhibits RNA synthesis, probably acting preferentially on ribosomal RNA synthesis, without inhibiting auxin-induced growth in the disks or coleoptile sections. FU also strongly inhibited respiration in auxin-treated disks indicating that the large promotion of respiration by auxin likewise may not be entirely necessary for growth. At least in the artichoke disks, RNA synthesis is required for auxin induction of cell enlargement and not for cell enlargement itself. The possible relationships of auxin induction of cell enlargement and RNA synthesis are discussed. 相似文献

Three isolates of heterocystous cyanobacteria, belonging to the genera Anabaena and Nostoc, gathered from Iranian terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems exhibited considerable growth promotion effect on several vegetables and herbaceous plants. To study the ability of these three isolates to produce auxins, three endogenous auxins, including indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), and two of its main homologues, indole-3-propionic acid and indole-3-butyric acid, were extracted and analyzed with high-performance liquid chromatography equipped with diode array detector and fluorescence detector, and the results were further confirmed with liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) in the negative-ion mode. The dominant auxin observed in all isolates was indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) in the range of 140.10–2146.96 ng g ?1 fresh weight (FW), and only small amounts of IAA (2.19–9.93 ng g ?1 FW) were detected. The predominance of IBA in these strains is reported for the first time which is different from the previously reported auxin profiles in microalgae and algae with the predominance of IAA. 相似文献

A procedure was selected for the simultaneous extraction and purification of abscisic acid (ABA) and indoleacetic acid (IAA). Unnecessary steps were eliminated and an accumulation of aqueous phase was avoided. The superior performance of diethyl ether (compared to ethyl acetate) for bulk purification and the superior resolution provided by 250 millimeter columns packed with 5-micrometer spherical particles of strong anion exchanger and octadecylsilane (C18) greatly facilitated the purification of samples. A fixed-wavelength (254 nanometer) ultraviolet detector and a fluorescence detector connected in series on a high performance liquid chromatograph permitted nondestructive monitoring and measurement of ABA and IAA. Derivatization was not necessary for chromatography or for detection. Isocratic elution with simple mobile phases gave sharp peaks. A few simple precautions minimized losses. Recoveries through the entire procedure averaged about 75% for ABA and about 50% for IAA. Purified ABA and IAA fractions were usually free of interfering contaminants. Identities were confirmed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. 相似文献

Endogenous auxins in the shoots and ears of rice were investigated. Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and indole-3-carboxylic acid (ICA) was identified by GC-MS, the endogenous level of IAA being much higher than that of ICA. To analyze the fluctuation of endogenous IAA level throughout the life cycle of rice, a rapid and effective procedure, using HPLC and a fluorescence detector, was developed. The level of IAA in shoots was 10 —26ng/g fr. wt., while that in ears was 10 to 100 times higher. The level of IAA conjugate in ears was also much higher than that in shoots. These results show that the biosynthesis of IAA occurs at an early stage of seed development, and it is also suggested that IAA may play a role in regulating the reproductive growth of rice. 相似文献

The development of an electrochemical detector to monitor the in situ formation of biofilms is described. The detector consisted of an electrochemical cell containing three electrodes, whose response to the application of a potential profile to the working electrode was sensitive to the amount of biofilm present on the surface. The electrochemical technique used was repetitive cyclic voltammetry. Differences between the response of the uncolonised electrode and after Pseudomonas fluorescens biofilms of different ages were grown on its surface were determined. The results show that cyclic voltammetry applied to platinum electrodes can be used to detect young biofilms. The development of the shape of the voltammogram as the potential is cycled may constitute a means of providing information on the coverage of the surface. Observation of the platinum electrodes before and after the electrochemical measurements showed that even after 30 min of recycling, most of the cells were still adhered to the surface, although some may have lost viability. 相似文献

Summary Using carboxyl- 14C-labelled IAA as a substrate, it could be demonstrated, that there is a linear relationship between cut surface and IAA destruction in Helianthus hypocotyl tissue. Unhurt tissue, however, destroys auxin also at an appreciable rate. Compared on a fresh weight basis, the epidermis of the hypocotyls oxydizes IAA about 18 times more than the tissue freed of the epidermis.

Debladed midribs of citrus leaves showed the typical delay of abscission in response to indoleacetic acid (IAA), and the typical acceleration of abscission in response to gibberellic acid (GA). Interaction experiments with these 2 hormones indicated that the balance of the 2 hormones may be more important in regulating abscission than the quantity of either. The often reported acceleration of abscission with low quantities of IAA did not seem to exist in citrus. IAA did accelerate abscission in this tissue when its application was delayed for at least 24 hours after deblading, which suggests the 2-stage effect is also present in citrus. When abscission was first delayed with IAA and then allowed to continue, the rate of abscission proceeded at a slower rate than was typical for this tissue. This slower rate was also typical of the effect observed when GA overcame the abscission retarding effect of IAA. The phenylurethane, Barban, blocked the GA acceleration of abscission, but it did not affect the rate of abscission of control or IAA treated midribs. 相似文献

High specific activity [ 3H]indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) was applied to the apical bud of intact pea ( Pisum sativum L. cv Greenfeast) plants. Radioactivity was detected in all tissues after 24 hours. More radioactivity accumulated in the nodules than in the parent root on a fresh weight basis and more in effective (nitrogen-fixing) nodules than in ineffective nodules (which do not fix nitrogen). For most samples, thin layer chromatography revealed major peaks of radioactivity at the RF values of IAA and indole-3-acetylaspartic acid (IAAsp) and further evidence of the identity of these compounds was obtained by chromatography in other systems. Disintegrations per minute due to IAA per unit fresh weight were significantly greater for root than for nodule tissue, but were not significantly different for effective and ineffective nodules. Radioactivity due to IAAsp, expressed both on a percentage basis and per unit fresh weight, was significantly greater for nodule than for root tissue and significantly greater for the effective nodules than for the ineffective nodules. When [3H]IAA was applied to effective nodules, IAAsp was the dominant metabolite in the nodule. The data suggest that metabolism of auxins may be important for the persistence of a functional root nodule. 相似文献

A submicroliter electrochemical detector for liquid chromatography has been designed, using pressure-annealed pyrolytic graphite technology. The analytical performance of this detector was studied in connection with a reversed-phase packed microcapillary column at very low flow-rates. Although the miniaturized version of the electrochemical detector is less sensitive, a direct analysis of a number of urinary metabolites in 0.1–1.0 μl samples is feasible. 相似文献

A comparison study was conducted on the effect of glyphosate ( N-[phosphonomethyl]glycine) on indole-3-[2- 14C]acetic acid (IAA) metabolism, ethylene production, and growth of 7-day-old seedlings of different plants. The plants tested were American germander ( Teucrium canadense L.), soybean ( Glycine max L. Merr.), pea ( Pisum sativum L. cv. Alaska and Little marvel), mungbean ( Vigna radiata L.), and buckwheat ( Fagopyrum esculentum Moench). A spray with 2 mM glyphosate affected IAA metabolism to a varied degree. The induced increase of IAA metabolism was greater in buckwheat, Alaska pea, and mungbean than soybean, Little marvel pea, and American germander. The increased IAA metabolism was correlated with the inhibition of growth and with the decrease of ethylene production. The natural rate of IAA metabolism was markedly different among the plant species and cultivars tested and appeared to be related to the sensitivity of the plants to glyphosate. American germander and Little marvel pea with high rates of IAA metabolism were more tolerant to glyphosate than buckwheat and Alaska pea, which had low rates of IAA metabolism. Plants with a high natural rate of IAA metabolism were probably less dependent on IAA and thus less susceptible to glyphosate. 相似文献

A selective and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatographic method was developed for the separation and quantitation of daunorubicin and its metabolites in serum, plasma, and other biological fluids. Daunorubicin and metabolites in human plasma were injected directly into the high-performance liquid chromatography system via a loop-column to pre-extract the drugs from the plasma, and quantitated against a multilevel calibration curve with adriamycin as the internal standard. The column effluent was monitored with an electrochemical detector at an applied oxidative potential of 0.65 V and by fluorescence. Daunorubicin and four metabolites were separted and characterized by this method. In a blinded evaluation of accuracy and precision, the mean coefficients of variation were 3.8, 3.6 and 9.8% at concentrations of 150, 75 and 15 ng/ml, respectively, and blank samples gave negligible readings. The amperometric sensitivity was greater than achieved by fluorescence detection, and offers an alternative method for quantitation of these compounds. The new method has a limit of detection of less than 2 ng on column, allowing quantitation of < 10 ng/ml in plasma samples without organic extraction prior to chromatographic analysis. 相似文献

Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and its putative precursors, l- and d-tryptophan, indole-3-pyruvate, and tryptamine were isolated from tomato ( Lycopersicon esculentum (L.) Mill.) shoots, identified by mass spectrometry, and measured using capillary gas chromatography with an electron capture detector and radioactive internal standards. Average amounts present were 7.9ng · (g FW) –-1 IAA, 5.7ng · (g FW) –-1 indole-3-pyruvate, 132 ng · (g FW) –-1 tryptamine, 103 ng · (g FW) –-1
d-tryptophan, and 2250 ng · (g FW) –-1
l-tryptophan. Indole-3-acetaldoxime was not found; detection limits were less than 1ng · (g FW) –-1. When tomato shoots were incubated for 6, 10 and 21 h in 30% –2H 2O, up to four positions in IAA, l- and d-tryptophan, tryptamine and indole-3-pyruvate became labelled with –2H. Compounds became labelled rapidly with 10% of IAA molecules containing –2H after 6 h. The percentage of labelled molecules of IAA and l-tryptophan increased up to 10 h but then decreased again, correlating with an increase in the total shoot tryptophan and presumably a result of protein hydrolysis in the excised, slowly senescing tissue. The amount of –2H in d-tryptophan also showed an increase followed by a decrease, but the proportion of labelled molecules was much less than in l-tryptophan and IAA. Tryptamine became labelled initially at a similar rate to IAA but continued to accumulate –2H up to 21 h. We conclude that tryptamine is synthesized from a different pool of tryptophan from that used in IAA synthesis, and is not a major endogenous precursor of IAA in tomato shoots. Indole-3-pyruvate was the most heavily labelled compound after 6 and 10 h incubation (21-h data not available). Furthermore, the proportion of –2H-labelled indole-3-pyruvate molecules was quantitatively consistent with the amount of label in IAA. On the other hand, a quantitative comparison of the IAA turnover rate and the rate of –2H incorporation into both l- and d-tryptophan indicates that IAA is not made from the total shoot pool of either l- or d-tryptophan. Instead IAA appears to be synthesized from a restricted pool which is turning over rapidly and which has access to both newly synthesized tryptophan and that from protein hydrolysis.Abbreviations GC-ecd

Beside indoleacetic acid (IAA), 3 auxins were found by chromatographic resolution of acidic fractions of Avena and Zea coleoptile tips. One of these auxins, designated P, occurred at levels of activity approaching those of IAA. The other 2 auxins, termed F and M, occurred at lower levels of activity. When the auxins of the excised coleoptile tips were isolated immediately after equilateral or unilateral irradiation with blue light at first positive energies, the ratio of IAA to the other auxins increases. This rise is the result of a decrease in P and F, and probably an increase in IAA. Light did not affect materially the total auxin content. It is suggested that P and F might be associated with the basipetal transport inequalities of IAA in phototropism. P has been partially characterized. Its RF on chromatograms developed in ammoniacal isopropanol is about 0.65. It is converted to IAA in vitro by heat. The ultraviolet absorption spectrum of chromatographically resolved P also suggests an indolyl complex. P is not readily transported basipetally, and the slope of its relative concentration-response curve (Avena section test) is lower than that of IAA. P does not appear to be any of the chemically characterized native auxins. 相似文献

The synthesis of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) in the enzyme extracts of Nicotiana glauca, Nicotiana langsdorffii, their F1 hybrid, their amphidiploid hybrid, and the nontumorous mutant of the hybrid was investigated. Tryptamine, a possible precursor of IAA biosynthesis in Nicotiana tabacum, was not found in the callus tissue of N. glauca, N. langsdorffii, and their F1 hybrid. In petiole slices, the synthesis of IAA progressively increased during 5 hours of incubation in [14C]tryptophan. The rate of synthesis was about equal in the hybrid and N. langsdorffii but lower in N. glauca on either a cell or fresh weight basis. It was also found that tryptophan was about 25 times more efficient than tryptamine in promoting synthesis of IAA in petiole slices. It was found that indoleacetaldehyde oxidase, indoleacetaldehyde reductase, and tryptophan aminotransferase activities were present in all of the species examined; however, tryptophan decarboxylase activity was not found. The tryptophan aminotransferase activity in N. glauca, N. langsdorffii, and the nontumorous mutant required α-ketoglutaric acid and pyridoxal 5-phosphate whereas the addition of pyridoxal 5-phosphate seemed not to increase the enzyme activity in tumor plants. The tryptophan aminotransferase in the amphidiploid hybrid was partially purified by acetone precipitation. The enzyme activity had a temperature optimum at 49 C and a pH optimum at 8.9. It is suggested that there is an indolepyruvic acid pathway in the synthesis of IAA in the Nicotiana species examined. 相似文献
