Transport and localization of 6-(γ,γ-dimethylallylamino)-purine-8-14C cytokinin in apple trees

Abstract

When cytokinin 6-(γ,γ-dimethylallylamino)-purine-8-14C was injected into the side root of a one-year-old apple graft, variety Cox's Orange Pippin, it was mainly transported acropetally, but a certain part of the radioactivity was also transported basipetally into the root below the place of injection. 6 days after application of the labelled cytokinin most of the radioactivity was detected in the xylem, 20–30 cm above the place of application. An appreciable quantity of radioactivity was transported toward the apical part of the plant as far as 100 cm from the point of application. Special analysis showed that 6 days after exposition about half of the remaining radioactivity was present in 6-(γ,γ-dimethylallylamino)-purine-8-C14 and the rest went to the other metabolites. The cytokinin was transported acropetally mainly in the transpiration stream.

Abstract

Studovali jsme transport a lokalizaci cytokininu 6-(γ,γ-dimethylallylamino)-purinu-8-C14 v jednoletých jabloních odr⫲dy Coxova reneta, očkovaných na M IV. 6 dn⫲ po podání značeného cytokininu bylo nalezeno největší množství radioaktivity v xylému nadzemní části, a to ve vzdálenosti 20 až 30 cm nad dvouletým kořenem, do kterého byl cytokinin podán v roztoku. Značná část radioaktivity byla transportována také do apikální části rostliny na vzdálenost více než 100 cm od místa aplikace. Speciální analýzou bylo prokázáno, že asi polovina zbylé radioaktivity připadala na podaný cytokinin, zatím co zbytek byl metabolizován. Podaný cytokinin byl transportován z kořene do nadzemní části ve vodním roztoku hlavně jako součást transpiračního proudu.
