녹두하배축에서 Auxin 과 Cytokinin 에 의한 에틸렌 생합성에 대한 Ca2+ 의 작용 = Action of Calcium on Ethylene Biosynthesis Induced by Auxin and Cytokinin in Mungbean Hypocotyl Segments

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Calcium promoted ethylene production from mungbean hypocotyl segments incubated in the presence of either auxin or cytokinin (kinetin). Time course studies indicated that the calcium effect on ethylene production had a longer latent period (about 6 h) in combination with kinetin than with auxin. Studies on the effects of agents that are known to interfere with either action or transport (uptake) of calcium on ethylene biosynthesis indicated different patterns between auxin-and kinetin treated tissues. Auxin-induced ethylene production was inhibited by the calmodulin inhibitor, trifluoperazine (TFP), and this inhibition was overcome by high concentrations of calcium applied, but TFP had no significant effect on kinetin-induced ethylene production regardless of calcium in the medium. The calcium channel blocker, verapamil, inhibited auxin-induced, but had little effect on kinetin-induced, ethylene production. In vivo activity of ethylene forming enzyme (EFE) was found to be substantially promoted by calcium treatment. The enzyme activity was further increased by kinetin when segments were simultaneously treated with calcium, but auxin did not have such an effect.
