Tóm tắt

A facile radiotracer method for discriminating between the activities oftryptophan-dependent and tryptophan-independent pathways for IAA biosynthesisisdescribed. This method utilized the simultaneous exposure of plants to[14C]anthranilate in the presence or absence of excess unlabeledtryptophan in order to determine if tryptophan feeding can affect the relativeenrichment of the IAA pool. Using this radiotracer method, the activities ofthetwo biosynthetic pathways were analyzed in isolated axes of germinating beanseedlings at various times after cotyledon excision. Unlabeled tryptophansuppressed [14C]anthranilate conversion into IAA in isolated axes ofdifferent ages immediately following cotyledon excision. On the other hand,tryptophan feeding did not inhibit [14C]IAA accumulation in isolatedaxes 36 or 120 h after cotyledon excision. Thus, this method wasable to resolve time-dependent differences following cotyledon excision in thebiosynthetic activities of the two pathways. Moreover, the present results lendfurther support to the emerging consensus that the tryptophan-dependent pathwayacts to maintain very high IAA levels required for mediating rapid cellproliferation in wounded tissues and, as previously shown, young embryos.
