The effect of indole-3-acetic-acid on the photosynthetic apparatus of Sinapis alba

1980

The influence of indole-3-acetic-acid (IAA) during the development of primary leaves of Sinapis alba was studied. IAA treatment (4 ppm ≈ 22.8 μM) caused a decrease of dry weight, soluble reducing sugars, soluble protein, chlorophylls, carotenoids and cytochrome f; it also caused a lower ratio of protein to chlorophyll, a lower ratio of chlorophyll a to chlorophyll b and a higher ratio of chlorophyll per cytochrome f. Furthermore, IAA treatment induced a significantly lower rate of CO2 fixation and a depressed nitrite reductase activity. Similar effects could also be observed in adaptation reactions brought about by red light and low-light (or shade) conditions.

The effect of kinetin on the photosynthetic apparatus of Sinapis alba

1980

The influence of kinetin during the development of primary leaves of Sinapis alba was investigated. Kinetin treatment (6 ppm) induced an increase of dry weight, of soluble reducing sugars, soluble protein, chlorophylls, carotenoids and cytochrome f; a higher ratio of chlorophyll a to chlorophyll b, higher rates of CO2 fixation per fresh weight and higher activity of nitrite reductase, were also found. These effects are comparable with strong and blue light adaptations. On the other hand, the Hill activity with ferricyanide as the electron acceptor, the rates of CO2 fixation per chlorophyll, the ratios of chlorophyll to cytochrome f and of protein to chlorophyll did not change. Therefore we …

Comparison of the Effects of Indole-3-Acetic Acid and Kinetin on the Photosynthetic Apparatus and on the Cell Metabolism

1984

External and internal factors can exert a regulatory influence on growth and differentiation within a reaction norm determined by the genetic material. As to the internal factors, the phytohormones intervene in the most development processes in a regulatory manner. In a number of publications it was pointed out that there is a far-reaching accordance between the effects caused by I.4A and the effects induced by red light and low light conditions (Zerbe, Wild, 1980 a; Holzapfel et al., 1982 a). Plants of Sinapis alba grown under low light conditions but additionally treated with kinetin show changes in their metabolism that are characteristic of plants grown at higher light intensities (Zerb…
