Soluble and cell-wall peroxidases and auxin destruction in normal and habituated tobacco callus

In Vitro Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

A comparison of the soluble and cell-wall-bound isoperoxidases of normal auxin-requiring and auxin-independent (habituated) tobacco callus revealed that normal tissues contained a higher level of isoperoxidases. There were also qualitative differences in these isoperoxidases. Partially purified soluble and ionically bound isoperoxidases of normal callus likewise exhibited higher auxin-oxidase activities. Normal tissues also were found to contain higher levels of auxin-oxidase inhibitors (auxin protectors). Overall, however, the data indicate that there is a higher rate of auxin destruction in normal tobacco callus than in habituated tissue. This presumably leads to insufficient endogenous auxin for growth.
