Abstract: | Root exudates of plants of Vitis vinifera L. cv. Thompson Seedless, grown in nutrient cultures with root temperatures maintained at either 20° or 30° and with shoots at a common air temperature, were assayed for cytokinin activity. After chromatography of freeze-dried sap on paper with n-butanol/acetic acid/water (4:1:1). activity was detected with a soybean callus assay. For both root temperatures, major activity appeared between RF 0.6 and RF 0.8, at about the same concentration in each case. The major difference between the 2 samples was the presence of activity at RF 0.1 to 0.2 in the 20° sample and its absence in the 30° sample. The higher root temperature resulted in increased shoot and root elongation, increased dry matter accumulation by both shoots and roots, and also altered the morphological appearance of the roots. |
