Abstract

Sprouting of basal buds in rose plants with a completely removed canopy was restrained by inhibitors in a water soluble fraction of an ethanolic extract from the bark tissue of the plant stump (the ‘crown’) extracted before the top removal. The inhibitory effect of this fraction disappeared if the bark was extracted one week after the removal of the plant canopy. A similar inhibition was obtained with extracts from stem segments. The organic fraction did not show any inhibitory activity. Both fractions, aqueous and organic, were inhitory in the lettuce hypocotyl elongation bioassay. High levels of ABA in the cis-configuration were found in extracts before the top removal. The amount of cis-ABA decreased in extracts made one week after top removal and a different peak of activity, probably corresponding to trans-ABA or phaseic acid was shown in the GLC-system used.

A high content of cytokinins has been found in the bark tissue of the ‘crown’. There were qualitative differences in cytokinin activity between the tissue from plants after the removal of the canopy and from plants with main branches left intact. A balance between cytokinins and inhibitory complex was proposed to be involved in the regulation of basal buds outgrowth and plant regeneration.
