Über den Nachweis eines Neurohormones beim Laubmooscallus und seine Beeinflussung durch das Phytochrom

Evidence of a neurohormone in moss callus and its regulation by the phytochrome

Planta Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The presence of a neurohormone in moss callus could be demonstrated by means of pharmacological experiments on the heart of the frog (Rana temporaria L.) and by chromatography.

The hearts react in the same manner as they do to application of acetylcholine and the substance resembles acetylcholine in its Rf-value. Therefore it is suggested that this hormone is identical with acetylcholine. The concentration of the hormone in the callus cells is mediated by the phytochrome. Moss callus cultivated under red and far-red illumination contain less substance than moss callus grown in red light.
