The abscisic acid analogs (−)-(4R,5R)-, (+)-(4S,5S)-, and (−)-(4S,5R)-4(1E,3Z)-4-(4-carboxy-3-methyl-1,3-butadienyl)-4-hydroxy-3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexanones (dihydroabscisic acids), and (−)-(4S,5R)-, (+)-(4R,5S)-, and (−)-(4R,5R)-4(Z)-4-hydroxy-4-(5-hydroxy-3-methylpent-3-en-1-ynyl)-3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexanones were synthesized from a common precursor, (−)-(6R)-2,2,6-trimethylcyclohexan-1,4-dione, which was readily prepared by the fermentation of oxoisophorone with bakers' yeast. Keywords: abscisic acid, dihydroabscisic acid, acetylenic analogs, optically active analogs, plant growth regulators.

Abstract: The objective of this work was to investigate the effect of plant growth regulators for enhancing fruit color of 'Gala Standard' apples (Malus domestica). The experiment was carried out in the 2015 and 2016 crop seasons. The treatments consisted of water, as a control; 300 mg L-1 ethephon, as a positive control; 400 mg L-1 prohydrojasmonate; and 400 mg L-1 abscisic acid. Flesh firmness, soluble solids content, fruit weight, and red color were assessed after harvest. Plant growth regulators enhanced red color of fruit and chlorophyll degradation. Prohydrojasmonate and abscisic acid did not reduce flesh firmness, in the 2016 season.

AbstractIn this study, we investigated the effect of plant growth regulators (PGRs) - auxins, gibberellin, cytokinin, abscisic acid, brassinosteroid, ethylene and their interaction with methyl jasmonate (JA-Me) applied to roots of the whole plants Kalanchoe blossfeldiana on the accumulation of anthocyanins in roots. The highest stimulation of anthocyanins synthesis was stated with application of JA-Me alone. In response to treatments with the other tested PGRs, the content of anthocyanins in roots of a whole plant was different depending on the concentration of the PGR when being applied alone or together with JA-Me. Auxin, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) at a concentration of 50 mg·L-1, indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) at 5 mg·L-1 and abscisic acid (ABA) at 10 mg·L-1 induced anthocyanin accumulation with approximately 60-115% compared to the control while 24-epibrassinolid (epiBL), gibberellic acid (GA3) and 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) had no effect on the anthocyanin accumulation. The simultaneous administration of the PGRs with JA-Me usually resulted in the accumulation of anthocyanins in roots in a manner similar to that caused by JA-Me. PGRs applied to isolated roots did not stimulate anthocyanin accumulation, except for the combination of JA-Me with 50 mg·L-1 IAA. The results indicate that in K. blossfeldiana, the aboveground parts of the plant play an important role in the biosynthesis of anthocyanins in roots.

Identification And Quantification

Aqueous seaweed extracts have diverse compounds such as Plant-Growth Regulators (PGRs) which have been utilized in agricultural practices for increasing crop productivity. Algal biomass of Padina durvillaei and Ulva lactuca have been suggested for use as biofertilizers because of plant growth-enhancing properties. This work aimed to identify the main PGRs and antioxidant properties in P. durvillaei and U. lactuca extracts, such as abscisic acid, auxins, cytokinins, gibberellins, jasmonates, and salicylates, to assess their potential use as biofertilizers that improve plant growth and crop yield. Phytochemical analyses of two seaweed extracts showed a significantly higher content of sulfates, flavonoids, and phenolic compounds in P. durvillaei extract, which could be linked to its higher antioxidant activity (DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP) compared to U. lactuca extract. The identification and quantification of PGRs showed two gibberellins (GA1 and GA4), abscisic acid (ABA), indoleacetic acid (IAA), three cytokinins (tZ, IP, and DHZ), jasmonic acid (JA), and salicylic acid (SA) in two seaweed extracts. However, GA4, tZ, and DHZ contents were significantly higher in P. durvillaei compared to U. lactuca extracts. These findings evidence that P. durvillaei and U. lactuca extracts are suitable candidates for use as biofertilizers.

Gibberellin Activity

Treatment of peach embryos from partially stratified seeds with abscisic acid (ABA) inhibited germination and promoted the production of leaf lesions, responses which are typical of testa presence. A period of water stress during germination also promoted lesion production. Neither testas nor ABA stimulated lesions on seedlings from 25°C-stratified seed, but mixtures of ABA and GA*3 were synergistic in promoting lesions; at the same time ABA and GA3 had opposite effects on germination and stem elongation, and mixtures had intermediate effects. Evidence was obtained for effects attributable to a balance between GA and ABA. Other inhibitors and promotors had no effect on lesions. The results from excision and substitution experiments permit an explanation of the effects of stratification in terms of three events: (a) a decrease in inhibitor activity in the testa; (b) an increase in gibberellin activity in the epicotyl; and (c) diffusion of inhibitor to the epicotyl via the radicle when the seed is returned to warm conditions.
