Abstract: | The amount of endogenous cytokinins in the butanol-soluble fractionincreased about 5 times during the mitosis of synchronouslydividing cultured tobacco cells (Nicotiana tabacum cv. Xanthi).The free cytokinins were identified as trans-zeatin and zeatinribonucleoside by paper and thin layer chromatography and byhigh-performance liquid chromatography combined with mass spectrometryand bioassay. The water-soluble fraction contained zeatin ribonucleotide,isopentenyladenosine monophosphate, phosphoglucosylzeatin andphosphoglucosylzeatin ribonucleoside. Changes in the cytokininsin the water-soluble and transfer RNA fractions during the cellcycle did not support the hypothesis that they might be thesource of the butanol-soluble cytokinins which increased duringmitosis. These seem to be synthesized de novo during mitosis. (Received February 1, 1980; ) |
