    Notes: Benzyladenine (BA) was found to regulate the number of flower buds regenerated in vitro from pedicel tissue of tobacco. Flower bud induction was particularly sensitive to BA levels in the range of 0.45 to 1.0 μM, where a two-fold increase in concentration caused a threefold rise in the number of buds. When tissues were fed radioactive BA for 24h, only 9–12% of the counts were recovered in the original compound. The rest was present in metabolites, tentatively identified as the mono-, di- and triribotides, 7- and 9-glucosides and 9-riboside of BA. The amount of growth regulator taken up and the quantities of BA and its metabolites in the explants were all linearly related to the concentration of the medium. The internal BA concentration was ca 60% of the level in the medium after 24 h. When the concentration in the medium was raised, relatively more BA remained in the non-conjugated form. However, this change in the equilibrium between BA and the conjugates is too small to account for the steep rise in the curve representing concentration vs effect between 0.45 and 1.0 μM.

    Notes: Abstract Flower stalk explants of tobacco cultured on a medium with an auxin and cytokinin regenerate flower buds within 14 days. The optimal medium concentrations of dihydrozeatin (DHZ) and benzyladenine (BA) were both 1 μM. The presence of DHZ in the culture medium was only essential during an initiation period of 7 days, whereas BA was needed only during the first 4 days. The difference in length of the initiation period is neither explained by the unequal uptake rates of the cytokinins nor by differences in their conjugation. At the medium concentration optimal for bud formation, the internal concentration of DHZ was two to three times the internal concentration of BA, which could be attributed to faster uptake of DHZ. It is concluded from the combined data that DHZ is less active in inducing flower bud formation than BA and that the exogenous cytokinins play only a role during the initiation phase of bud regeneration.

    Notes: Abstract The effects of various chemically pure gibberellins and cytokinins on leaf yellowing of Alstroemeria were described. The loss of chlorophyll was measured both in leaves of cut flowering stems and in a model system consisting of detached leaf tips. It was demonstrated that plant growth substances affected chlorophyll loss in both systems to the same extent. Leaf senescence was delayed by various gibberellins and cytokinins. The results demonstrated that some of the gibberellins (GA4 and GA7) are far more effective in delaying chlorophyll loss than GA3, which is commonly used as a postharvest treatment for Alstroemeria cut flowering stems. Immunoassays were used to demonstrate that the effect of gibberellins on leaf yellowing does not involve an increase in the endogenous cytokinin concentrations in the leaves as an intermediate step.

    Notes: Abstract In vitro flower bud initiation and development depend on the presence of two hormones in the culture medium—auxin (NAA) and cytokinin (BAP). The uptake of both NAA and BAP by the explants was shown to be proportional to the concentrations supplied in the medium over a period of 4 days after the onset of culture. However, when supplied at equal concentrations for 24 h, the NAA uptake was up to 10-fold higher than the BAP uptake. Both hormones are rapidly metabolized by the explants. Nevertheless, the concentrations of free hormones inside the explants appeared to be high and in the case of NAA exceeded the concentration in the medium by more than 1 order of magnitude within 24 h. Apparently flower bud initiation in tobacco explants requires relatively high concentrations free NAA and BAP in the tissue maintained by a continuous supply in the medium. There are at present no indications that the products of hormone metabolism are directly involved in bud formation.
