Abstract: | Parameters of photosynthesis, heat-resistance, and osmotic pressure of cell exudate of leaves of the drought-sensitive cultivar Lyutestsens 758 of wheat, Triticum aestivum, were studied under conditions of normal water supply, soil drought, and subsequent rehydration. The plants preliminarily treated with kartolin-4 were compared to untreated plants. Kartolin-4, a preparation with cytokininlike activity, partially prevented the drought-induced inhibition of the photosynthetic assimilation of carbon dioxide and carboxylation activities of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (EC 4.1.1.39), the key enzyme of carbon metabolism in plants. Upon a subsequent rehydration, kartolin-4 stimulated the reparation reactions and facilitated rapid recovery of normal photosynthetic activity. Kartolin-4 also increased plant resistance to overheating and water deficiency. |
