Abstract
Endogenous indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), abscisic acid (ABA) and cytokinins (zeatin, zeatin riboside, dihydrozeatin, (diH)Z, dihydrozeatin riboside, (diH)[9R]Z, N6-isopentenyl adenine and N6-isopentenil adenine riboside) levels were evaluated in normal (N) and hyperhydric (H) microplants of Dianthus caryophyllus cultured under different aeration conditions in hormone-free liquid medium. The morphological differences between N and H explants grown under ventilated conditions were correlated with differences in their endogenous hormonal levels: after 15 and 30 days of culture, H explants showed lower IAA and ABA contents than N explants, as well as higher cytokinin levels, mainly of (diH)Z and (diH)[9R]Z. This was associated with less tissue differentiation and with an inability of H microplants to survive under ex vitro conditions. However, these relationships could not be observed between H and N explants grown under non-ventilated conditions probably due to the difficulty in discerning the plant status (N or H) and therefore, an underestimation of H microplants. This assumption is supported by the low ability for acclimatization to ex vitro of N plants grown without ventilation.
