Indole-3-acetic acid, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, and maleic hydrazide were applied as foliar sprays to 10-week-old sugarcane plants during initial studies of the interrelationships of growth-regulating materials with the sugar-metabolizing enzymes of sugarcane. Leaf samples were harvested at 1, 3, 9, and 27 days following treatment for sugar and enzyme assays. Sugar analyses were run for total ketoses, sucrose, fructose, and total reducing sugars, with glucose being determined by calculation. A series of acid phosphatase assays were conducted using as substrates the following compounds: ß-glycerophosphate, adenosinetriphosphate, uridine diphosphate glucose, glucose-1-phosphate, glucose-6-phosphate, fructose-6- phosphate, fructose-1,6-diphosphate, and 3-phosphoglyceric acid. Additional enzymes included invertase, amylase, hexokinase, phosphohexose isomerase, aldolase, triosephosphate dehydrogenase, phosphoglyceryl kinase, condensing enzyme, isocitric acid dehydrogenase, transaminase, peroxidase, and glucose oxidase. All enzyme preparations consisted of dialyzed water-soluble protein extracted from freeze-dried leaf tissue and precipitated with ammonium sulfate between 35 and 95 percent of saturation.

2,4 Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid

Slices cut from green, unripe fruit were treated by infiltration with aqueous solutions of 2,4�dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4�D) and indoleacetic acid (lAA). 2,4.D delayed but increased the size of those peaks in respiration and ethylene production which are induced by cutting; ripening was also delayed. These effects were proportional to concentrations of 2,4.D in the range 1O-LlO-3M. Higher concentrations caused injury.

2,4 Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid

Lemon pistil explants were obtained by cutting just above the region of the hypogynous disc (A type explant) or at the base of the pistil (B type explant) and cultured on test medium containing Murashige and Skoog salts, 50 g sucrose/L, 100 mg myo-inositol/L, 5 mg thiamine–HCl/L, and 0.5 mg kinetin/L, plus or minus supplements. Under appropriate conditions an abscission zone formed and styles abscised after 6–8 days of culture; in the field stylar abscission occurred 12–15 days postanthesis. Abscission in A type explants was markedly inhibited by 9 μM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid but was unaffected by indole-3-acetic, 1-naphthaleneacetic, gibberellic, abscisic, caffeic, or p-coumaric acids. The response to 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid was reduced in B type explants. In an atmosphere containing 35–200 ppm ethylene, cell division occurred in the zone of stylar abscission producing a proliferating callus, and the content of cellulase increased from 0.6 to 53.7 enzyme units/g fresh weight compared with fresh explants. Stylar abscission was inhibited by 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid in A type explants of Washington navel orange, Valencia orange, and mandarin pistils, but not of grapefruit pistils. B type explants of Washington navel orange and mandarin pistils were less responsive to 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid.

Acetic Acids

The thionaphthen�2�, �3-, -5-, -6�, and -7-acetic acids have been synthesized from the chlorides of the corresponding carboxylic acids by the Arndt-Eistert reaction and their plant growth-regulating activities, as indicated by their effects upon protoplasmic streaming, have been compared with those of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4�D). The thionaphthen-3- and -7- acetic acids and IAA have similar effects upon protoplasmic streaming, while the effects of the thionaphthen-2-, -5-, and �6-acetic acids differ from those of IAA and resemble in part those of 2, 4-D.
