Abstract: | The present study investigates the effects of triacontanol (CH3(CH2)28CH2OH),on plant growth (root and stem), peroxidase activity (apicalmeristem tissue), and auxin destruction (apical meristem tissue)in Little Marvel dwarf (LM) and Alaskapeas (AP). Triacontanol inhibited root growth in LM comparedto untreated controls. However, root growth in AP tissue wasenhanced by 1.0 mg I1 triacontanol and inhibited by allother treatments, in comparison to untreated controls. Wateruptake in triacontanol-treated AP plants was greater than inuntreated controls, with the converse being the case for LM.Triacontanol treatment caused an increase in peroxidase activityin both LM and AP plants compared to untreated controls. Interms of (114C)IAA destruction, GA3 + 0.01 mg 11triacontanol caused appreciable auxin breakdown (40%) in LMtissue, with GA3 + 0.1 mg 11 triacontanol giving a 43%decrease compared to untreated controls. In AP tissue, 10 µMGA3 increased auxin destruction by 188% whereas 0.1 mg I1triacontanol caused a 20% decrease compared to untreated controls.The effects of triacontanol on root and stem growth, peroxidaseactivity, and auxin destruction appear to be cultivar-specific,with respect to LM and AP varieties of peas. |
