| Abstract: | Flower-inducing factors in extracts of flowering Lemna gibbaG3 were investigated using Lemna paucicostata 151 as the bioassayplant. Fractions with flower-inducing activity were obtainedafter several purification steps. Two of the active substanceswere identified as L-pipecolic acid and nicotinamide by MS andNMR analyses. Both L-pipecolic acid and nicotinamide exhibited flower-inducingactivity in L. paucicostata 151 grown on one-tenth-strengthM medium containing benzyladenine, the former being ten timesas active as the latter. L-Pipecolic acid was active even at0.01 ppm (7.8 ? 10–8 M). The effect of L-pipecolic acidon flowering strongly depended upon the presence of exogenouscytokinin. The coexistence of cytokinin seemed to be essentialfor L-pipecolic acid to exhibit flower-inducing activity. Incontrast, the effect of nicotinamide on flowering was basicallythe same as that of benzoic acid or nicotinic acid. (Received February 9, 1987; Accepted May 21, 1987) |
