  • Title: Hormonal control of isoperoxidases in lentil embryonic axis.
    Author: Gaspar T, Khan AA, Fries D.
    Journal: Plant Physiol; 1973 Jan; 51(1):146-9. PubMed ID: 16658276.
    Abstract:
    Detachment of the cotyledons from the lentil (Lens culinaris Med.) embryonic axis causes in the latter an increase in total peroxidase activity which is shown to be due to enhancement of specific cathodic isoperoxidases. Kinetin treatment of attached or detached axes promotes activity of essentially the same cathodic isoperoxidases. In addition kinetin enhances the activity of two anodic peroxidases and represses specifically that of a cathodic one. Abscisic acid inhibits the production of all isoenzymes in the presence or absence of kinetin. Cytokinin and abscisic acid actions are discussed in relation to the nature of a wounding hormone and the role of natural inhibitors in cotyledons during germination. Indoleacetic acid stimulates the activity of certain isoenzymes which are also stimulated by kinetin, whereas in others the effects of the two hormones are different. Specific inverse effects of indoleacetic acid and kinetin are demonstrated on the two most cathodic isoperoxidases. Indoleacetic acid-kinetin interactions on the cathodic isoperoxidases have been found in the literature and are discussed as a possible mechanism for explaining interactions of the two regulators on growth and other physiological processes.
