Presence of plant hormones in composts made from organic fraction of municipal solid waste
2016
Composting is a process of the biological decomposition of organic matter under aerobic conditions. Composts made from waste may still contain other substances that influence plant growth and development, such as vitamins or plant growth substances (plant hormones). Application of products containing phytohormones has an effect on numerous physiological processes in plants. Among observable results are: improved condition of the root system, increased absorption of nutrients, improved stress and disease resistance and delayed aging. The purpose of the research was to analyse the occurrence of plant hormones in mature composts made from selectively collected organic fraction of household mun…
Untersuchungen zur Biosynthese eines Cytokinins in Calluszellen von Laubmoossporophyten
1973
When callus cells derived from the sporogon of the hybrid Funaria hygrometrica x Physcomitrium piriforme are supplied with adenine-8-14C, they produce a labelled cytokinin which has the same chromatographic behavior as N6-γγ-(dimethylallyl)aminopurine. The cytokinin is the first radioactive product that can be detected in the culture medium. It is formed as long as labelled adenine is available. When callus cells are grown in an optimum culture medium containing amino acids, about 10% of the radioactivity supplied as adenine is found in the cytokinin. When the cells are grown in a medium without amino acids, the RNA-content of the cells and the total yield of cytokinin decrease, but about 1…
Adenine and 2-aminopurine: Paradigms of modern theoretical photochemistry
2006
Distinct photophysical behavior of nucleobase adenine and its constitutional isomer, 2-aminopurine, has been studied by using quantum chemical methods, in particular an accurate ab initio multiconfigurational second-order perturbation theory. After light irradiation, the efficient, ultrafast energy dissipation observed for nonfluorescent 9H-adenine is explained here by the nonradiative internal conversion process taking place along a barrierless reaction path from the initially populated 1 (ππ* L a ) excited state toward a low-lying conical intersection (CI) connected with the ground state. In contrast, the strong fluorescence recorded for 2-aminopurine at 4.0 eV with large decay lifetime …
