[Effect of gibberellin and auxin on the synthesis of abscisic acid and ethylyne in buds of dormant and sprouting potato tuber].

Gibberellic and beta-indolylacetic acids at concentrations of 10(-7)-10(-5) M were shown to change the hormonal status and duration of dormancy in potato tubers. Gibberellic acid shortened the dormancy and decreased the contents of abscisic acid and ethylene in apical meristems. beta-Indolylacetic acid elongated the dormancy, decreased abscisic acid production, but caused a more than tenfold increase in the production of ethylene by apical tissues. The data suggest that beta-indolylacetic acid and ethylene, as well as gibberellic and abscisic acids, are involved in the regulation of dormancy in potato tubers.

Effect of inhibitors of polyamine biosynthesis on gibberellin-induced internode growth in light-grown dwarf peas.

When gibberellic acid (GA3) is sprayed on 9-day-old light-brown dwarf Progress pea (Pisum sativum) seedlings, arginine decarboxylase (ADC; EC 4.1.1.9) activity increases within 3 h and peaks at about 9 h after GA3 application. This is followed by a second lower peak at about 30 h; both peaks were higher than the corresponding peaks in the controls. In contrast, no appreciable effect of GA3 on internode length was observed until about 12 h, after which time a dramatic increase in growth rate occurred and persisted for about 12 h. Specific (DL-alpha-difluoromethylarginine) and non-specific (D-arginine and L-canavanine) inhibitors of ADC strongly inhibited ADC activity and to a lesser extent internode growth. The inhibition was reversed only slightly by the addition of polyamines. Actinomycin D and cycloheximide inhibited the rise in ADC activity induced by GA3. The half-life of the enzyme was increased by GA3 treatment. The results suggest that part of the GA3-induced increase in internode growth may result from enhanced polyamine biosynthesis through the ADC pathway. Furthermore, the GA3 induced increase in ADC activity probably requires de novo synthesis of both RNA and protein.

A gibberellin-regulated gene from wheat with sequence homology to cathepsin B of mammalian cells.

A previous report described several cDNAs corresponding to mRNAs which accumulated in wheat aleurone layers treated with gibberellic acid (GA) (Baulcombe and Buffard, 1983). The protein sequence deduced from one of these clones (2529) has extensive similarity to the thiol protease, cathepsin B from mammalian cells. Southern analysis of wheat DNA has shown that the 2529 mRNA is encoded by a small family of genes carried on the group 4 chromosome. The nucleotide sequence of a member of the gene family expressed at a low level in aleurone layers and the use of a primer extension assay to identify a clone of a member of the gene family producing an abundant mRNA are reported. The 2529 mRNA accumulates in the scutellum and the aleurone layer of germinating grains where its expression is regulated by GA. In the scutellum the expression was restricted to the parenchyma, suggesting that the 2529 product may have a role other than for mobilization of the endosperm.
