Abstract: | Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) ovules grown in a defined nutrient medium undergo normal morphogenesis, including fiber production. In identical medium lacking boron, ovules callus and accumulate brown substances. Boron deficiency-like symptoms were induced by 6-azauracil and 6-azauridine in ovules growing in boron-sufficient media. Other nucleoside base analogs either reduced or had no effect on over-all growth, but did not cause typical boron-deficient callus growth of cotton ovules. Orotic acid and uracil countered the effects of 6-azauracil. Actinomycin D, fluorodeoxyuridine, and ethidium bromide reduced not only fiber production on ovules growing in boron-sufficient media but also callusing of ovules in boron-deficient media. |
