[factors affecting embryogenesis in tissue cultures from domestic forms of umbellifera].the cultivation of tissues from domestic forms of umbellifera (daucus carota, apium-graveolens) on simple, synthetic media resulted in the production of adventive embryos if the salts and trace elements of white's medium were replaced by those of the formula of murashige and skoog. in contrast to results with embryos from different seeds the positive effect of these components on the production and the early development of the adventive embryos in the tissue cultures obviously was not dependent ...196624557788
distribution of an indoleacetic acid-oxidase-inhibitor in the storage root of daucus carota.indoleacetic acid (iaa)-oxidase from both secondary phloem and xylem was dependent on 2,4-dichlorophenol for activity, and was enhanced by addition of mn(2+). the ph optimum was 6.0 from both tissues. iaa-oxidase and its inhibitors were distributed differently in the secondary phloem and secondary xylem of carrot root. in the phloem a high iaa-oxidase activity was distributed uniformly along the radius but in the xylem a somewhat lower concentration decreased from the cambium. iaa-oxidase inhibi ...196716656541

investigations on the growth and metabolism of cultured explants of daucus carota : ii. effects of iron, molybdenum and manganese on metabolism.knowing that the element fe essentially triggers the action of the coconut milk stimulus for the growth of carrot explants and thereafter interacts with added mo and mn, the effects of these trace elements on growth (fresh and dry weight) and metabolism of both nitrogenous and nitrogen-free metabolites have been determined. an outstanding effect of fe is to determine the level of protein synthesized, and the combination of mo with fe increases both protein and the content of non-protein nitrogen ...196824519729
investigations on the growth and metabolism of cultured explants of daucus carota : i. effects of iron, molybdenum and manganese on growth.the effects of fe, mo and mn on the growth of explants drawn from different carrot clones were investigated. the explants were cultured aseptically on purified basal media supplemented with coconut milk. the two components of growth, i.e. cell division and cell enlargement, seem to respond differentially to the trace elements in question. fe plays the key role and acts as a "trigger" of the action of coconut milk in stimulating cell division. neither mo nor mn could replace iron in this respect. ...196824519728
transport of 3-o-methylglucose into and out of storage cells of daucus carota.the movement of labeled 3-o-methylglucose (meg) into and out of thin carrot discs has been followed in order to gain information on sugar entry and exit mechanisms. little or no metabolism of this derivative appears to occur in the tissue, since no products were detected either by chromatography or by analysis of respiratory co(2).the curve relating entry to external concentration deviated somewhat from a rectangular hyperbola but suggested a carrier mechanism. glucose and meg each competitively ...196816656877
[investigations on the relation between differentiation and the composition of soluble protein of tissue cultures and leaves of daucus carota].the correlations between differentiation, the amino acid composition of total protein and of soluble protein, and the disc electrophoretic distribution of soluble protein of carrot tissue cultures and of carrot plants (leaves) were studied. in spite of pronounced and characteristic changes in the electrophoretic distribution of the components of soluble protein in various developmental stages of both bioassays, no significant differences in the amino acid composition of protein were observed. wi ...196924504783
[influence of nitrogen compounds and of auxin on embryogenesis in tissue cultures].investigations of a regularly reacting system for the analysis of embryo formation in tissue cultures of daucus carota led to new points of view about this process and to the clarification of controversial results. essential factors for the embryogenesis are the nitrogen and the auxin of the nutrient. inorganic (kno3, nh4no3) as well as organic (amino acids, amides) nitrogenous compounds enhance the embryo formation; glutamine and ammonium nitrate are especially efficient. auxin (2,4-d), on the ...196924504756
synthesis and secretion of hydroxyproline containing macromolecules in carrots. i. kinetic analysis.when disks of carrot (daucus carota) phloem parenchyma are incubated for 6 days there is a 10-fold increase in cell wall hydroxyproline due to the synthesis and secretion of hydroxyproline-containing macromolecules. the synthesis of these molecules and their secretion are demonstrated by measuring the kinetics of incorporation and of chase of (14)c-proline and hydroxyproline in different fractions of the cytoplasm and the cell wall. the hydroxyproline-containing molecules which are secreted are ...196916657187

 the contents of sterol derivatives (sterols + esters, glycosides and acylated glycosides) have been determined using thin layer chromatography in leaves and bulky and organs from carrots (daucus carota l.) potato (solanum tuberosum l.), onion (allium cepa l.) two varieties of radish (raphanus sativus l.) and gentiana purpurea l. plants. ether-soluble lipids of leaves contain 2.8-5.2%, those of storage tissue 3.1-8.9% sterol derivatives. the fractionation of lettuce (lactuca sativa l., burpee's r ...197011945480
phytochrome in cultured wild carrot tissue: ii. dark transformations.disappearance and transformation of phytochrome in light-treated, dark-grown cultured tissue of wild carrot (daucus carota l.) have been analyzed. evidence is presented for the existence of two populations of far red-absorbing phytochromes: one which is subject to reversion, and a second which undergoes loss of photoreversibility. phytochrome levels and transformation characteristics have been compared for several strains and developmental stages of cultured wild carrot tissue.197016657464
[characterization of root initiation and root senescence in callus- and organ-cultures of daucus carota through determination of the specific activity of the glutamate-dehydrogenase (nad)].in callus tissues of daucus carota rhizogenesis was influenced by addition to the cultures of solutions with different kinetin concentrations (0-0.1-0.5-2 mg/l) and a constant auxin content (1 mg/l). in these cultures the specific activity of glutamate-dehydrogenase (e.c. 1.4.1.2.), aspartate-aminotransferase (e.c. 2.6.1.1.), isocitrate-dehydrogenase (e.c. 1.1.1.42) and of acid phosphatase (e.c. 3.1.3.2.) was determined. before root initiation can be seen morphologically in tissues grown on low ...197024500017
investigations on the growth and metabolism of cultured explants of daucus carota : iii. the range of responses induced in carrot explants by exogenous growth factors and by trace elements.the responses of carrot explants to various growth-promoting agents and to certain trace elements with which they interact have been investigated. a great range in the metabolic behavior of the tissue may be brought about in this way. the responses to the exogenously applied substances are described in terms of the growth of the carrot explants in fresh weight and number of cells and also in terms of their metabolism, as shown by the final content and composition of the non-protein n compounds, ...197024500015

the greening of chromoplasts in daucus carota l.evidence was obtained for the transformation of chromoplasts to chloroplasts in the cortex parenchyma of carrot during exposure to light. typical chromoplasts containing carotene crystals but no lamellar system were observed at the onset of illumination. the ensuing synthesis of chlorophyll and a lamellar system was accompanied by disappearance of the carotene crystals. only chloroplasts were present after 48 hr in the light. the different stages of plastid development were observed using the el ...197124493398
investigations on the growth and metabolism of cultured explants of daucus carota : iv. effects of iron, molybdenum and the components of growth promoting systems and their interactions.the induction and maintenance of growth in small, standard explants of carrot root exposed to a trace-element-free basal nutrient medium (b (**)) have been investigated. the organic growth factors that induce the growth are complex as represented by a trace-element-limited coconut-milk preparation (cm(**)) or the component parts of distinct growth promoting systems mediated by inositol or by 3-indoleacetic acid (iaa). in system i inositol interacts with growth factors from aesculus, of which a k ...197124487636

translocation of nickel in xylem exudate of plants.topped plants of tomato (lycopersicon esculentum), cucumber (cucumis sativus), corn (zea mays), carrot (daucus carota), and peanut (arachis hypogaea) were treated with 0.5 to 50 micromolar ni (containing (63)ni) in nutrient solutions. xylem exudate was collected for 10 hours or, in the case of corn, for 20 hours at 5-hour intervals. electrophoresis of nutrient solution distributed all ni cathodically as inorganic ni(2+). low concentrations of ni in tomato exudate migrated anodically, presumably ...197116657780
correlation between the suppression of glucose and phosphate uptake and the release of protein from viable carrot root cells treated with monovalent cations.treating carrot (daucus carota l.) discs with ice-cold nacl solutions for 30 minutes caused three effects that appear to be functionally related: the exchange of tissue ca(2+) and mg(2+) for na(+), the release of protein, and the suppression of active uptake of glucose and orthophosphate. cyclosis continued apparently unabated after treatment with nacl at concentrations of up to 0.25 m, so the cells remained viable and energetically competent. the correlation between the release of ca(2+) and mg ...197116657783

induced changes in permeability of plant cell membranes to water.the half-time for tho equilibration was three times longer for a living carrot (daucus carota l.) cylinder than for a dead one. furthermore, the energy of activation of tho flux was more than twice as high for the living cylinder. passage through living membranes thus constitutes a rate-limiting step for tho flux in carrot tissue.co(2) increased the half-time (t((1/2))) for tho equilibration. treatment with abscisic acid or with tertiary butanol decreased t((1/2)). in neither case was the select ...197216658009
investigations on the growth and metabolism of cultured explants of daucus carota : v. effects of trace elements and growth factors on the solutes accumulated.earlier papers of this series relate to different growth-promoting substances and systems which, singly and in combination, have interacted with trace elements (mn and mo) and fe to induce growth and to affect the metabolism of aseptic cultures of carrot. the solutes of cultured carrot cells (k(+), na(+), cl(-), total solutes) are also affected. two clones were grown in 9 combinations of growth factors and under 4 trace-element regimes (a complete complement including fe, and this complement lac ...197324469575
ethylene-induced phenylalanine ammonia-lyase activity in carrot roots.ethylene enhanced the activity of phenylalanine ammonialyase in carrot (daucus carota l., var. "nauty") root tissue. slight increase in enzyme activity was exhibited by root discs incubated in ethylene-free air. it was probably due to the ethylene formed within the sliced tissue. addition of ethylene to the air stream increased phenylalanine ammonia-lyase activity and the total protein content of the discs until maximum activity was reached after 36 to 48 hours of incubation. the continuous pres ...197316658459
further studies on the photosynthesis of carrot tissue cultures.the influence of kinetin and sucrose on the photosynthetic activity of carrot (daucus carota) tissue cultures in relation to growth was investigated. the results showed that light contributes heavily to the growth of tissue cultures measured in terms of fresh and dry weight and cell division activity. in light, the fresh weight, dry weight, and number of cells per explant were about or more than doubled. this indicated that after the development of chloroplasts, carrot tissue cultures can grow a ...197316658393

the effects of gelatin on aggregation of protoplasts from higher plants.aggregation of protoplasts of allium fistulosum l., brassica chinensis l. and daucus carota l. was induced in great frequency with gelatin and early products of gelatin degradation. the optimal gelatin concentration was 2-5%. the aggregated protoplasts fused into groups and cell walls were formed around them in culture.197324458819
anthiovulatory activity of five indigenous plants in rabbits.the petroleum ether, alcoholic, and aqueous extracts of 5 indigenous plants, known to have antifertility activity in female rats and mice (areca catechu linn, carica papaya linn, daucus carota linn, mentha arvensis linn and polygonum hydropiper linn), were evaluated for their possible antiovulatory activity in rabbits with copper-induced ovulation. the alcoholic extract of mentha arvensis (leaves) and the petroleum ether extract of the roots of polygonum hydropiper were the most successful age ...19744442983
cell wall and protoplast isoperoxidases in relation to injury, indoleacetic acid, and ethylene effects.in tobacco (nicotiana tabacum) pith, sweet potato (ipomoea batatas), and carrot (daucus carota) storage roots, differences were found between cell wall and protoplast peroxidases in their isoenzyme patterns, activity, and reaction to tissue injury.in the pith of elongating tobacco internodes, 90% of total activity was associated with the walls, 80% of which was due to the ionically and covalently bound fractions. with senescence, the increase in activity occurred mainly in the protoplast and the ...197416658744
alkaline β-fructofuranosidases of tuberous roots: possible physiological function.alkaline invertase of roots of carrot (daucus carota l.) did not hydrolyze raffinose while the acid invertase from the same tissue showed with this sugar ca. 60% of the activity found with sucrose. the activity of the two invertases was inhibited by fructose to a different extent, the k i value being ca. 4×10(-2) m and 3×10(-1)m, respectively, for the alkaline and the acid invertases from the roots of both carrot and turnip (brassica rapa l.). it is proposed that fructose inhibition of acid inve ...197424442377
development of tuberous roots and sugar accumulation as related to invertase activity and mineral nutrition.sucrose storage in tuberous roots was not observed when the tissues had very high activities of acid invertase. high activities of the enzyme were always present in the roots at early stages of their development. in species where the activity of the enzyme decreased during root development, sucrose was stored. thus, acid invertase was undetectable in mature roots of carrots (daucus carota l.) where sucrose formed almost 80% of the dry matter. conversely, radish (raphanus sativus l.) and turnip ( ...197424442198
the control of glycolysis in aged slices of carrot root tissue.the possibility that the rate of glycolysis in aged slices of carrot (daucus carota l.) is controlled by the enzyme phosphofructokinase was examined, by changing the rate of metabolism, by supplying the tissue with potassium chloride, potassium phosphate and potassium citrate and measuring the subsequent changes in levels of metabolites. potassium chloride and potassium phosphate stimulate glycolysis, potassium citrate inhibits glycolysis and the associated changes in metabolites are consistent ...197424442325
the pasteur effect in carrot root tissue.the presence of a pasteur effect in aged discs of carrot (daucus carota l.) storage tissue and its apparent absence in fresh discs was confirmed. changes in the concentration of glycolytic intermediates have been determined, following the transfer of fresh and aged discs from air to nitrogen. in addition the changes in glycolytic intermediates associated with the ageing of the discs have also been measured. the results are analysed and interpreted to indicate that in aged discs the enzyme phosph ...197424442324
[relationship between anthocyanin synthesis and activity of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (pal) in callus cells of daucus carota].two celllines from daucus carota callus were tested for phenylalanine ammonia-lyase activity. the white callus (dcw) has only 15% of the enzyme activity of the blue callus (dcb). the enzyme activity reaches a maximum value after a cultivation period of 21 days, whereas the maximum in anthocyanin content is reached after 28 days. we can demonstrate here a good correlation between one of the enzymes and the end product of the anthocyanin biosynthesis.the crude extract from dcw cells has no inhibit ...197424458301
fluxes of a nonelectrolyte and compartmentation in cells of carrot root tissue.permeation of thiourea into cells of carrot (daucus carota l.) storage root discs was found to be governed by its concentration gradient only. the analysis of the course of thiourea efflux from preloaded discs shows two distinct exponential curves, apart from an initial very fast component. reasons are given for relating the first exponential part of the curve to efflux from the cytoplasm and the second exponential part to efflux from the vacuole.the rate constant for thiourea efflux through the ...197416658696
transfer of algal chloroplasts into protoplasts of higher plants.polyethylene-glycol treatment of mixed suspensions of isolated protoplasts and of chloroplasts induces chloroplast uptake by the protoplasts. chloroplasts of algal origin (vaucheria dichotoma (l.) ag.) were transferred with high frequency into protoplasts of daucus carota l.197424442619

[metabolism of nicotinic acid in plant cell suspension cultures, iv: occurrence and metabolism of nicotinic acid n-alpha-arabinoside (author's transl)].application of nicotinic acid to cell suspension cultures of petroselinum hortense hoffm., daucus carota, nicotiana tabacum and nicotiana glauca leads to the formation of the recently isolated[2] nicotinic acid n-alpha-l-arabinoside. in these cell cultures the arabinoside is a metabolically active compound; the nicotinic acid moiety is used for nad synthesis and nicotinic acid degradation involving decarboxylation and ring fission. n-methylnicotinic acid (trigonelline) and nicotinic acid n-alpha ...1976185135
a method for eliminating the contribution of agrobacterium tumefaciens to studies of nucleic acid biosynthesis in crown gall tumors.a procedure is described that permits the use of radiotracer methods for examining crown gall tumors in the presence of the initiating agent agrobacterium tumefaciens. on the basis of sensitivity testing using the disc diffusion technique and the minimum inhibitory concentration procedure and incorporation of radioactive phosphorus into nucleic acids, it was determined that a. tumefaciens was most sensitive to tetracycline, oxytetracycline, and methacycline. it was further demonstrated that nucl ...197616659494
variation in germination and amino acid leakage of seeds with temperature related to membrane phase change.leakages of amino acids and/or fluorescent material as functions of temperature between 15 and 40 c are reported for imbibed seeds of avena fatua l., lactuca sativa l., barbarea vulgaris r. br., amaranthus albus l., abutilon theophrasti medic., lychnis alba mill., daucus carota l., setaria faberi herrm., setaria viridis (l.) beauv., and datura stramonium l. the leakage indicates prominent increase in permeability of the plasmalemma in the 30 to 35 c range for 8 of the 10 kinds of seeds studied. ...197616659623
trypsin-induced atpase activity in potato mitochondria.potato mitochondria (solanum tuberosum var. russet burbank), which readily phosphorylate adp in oxidative phosphorylation, show low levels of atpase activity which is stimulated neither by mg(2+), 2,4-dinitrophenol, incubation with respiratory substrates, nor disruption by sonication or treatment with triton x-100, individually or in concert. treatment of disrupted potato mitochondria with trypsin stimulates mg(2+)-dependent, oligomycin-sensitive atpase activity 10- to 15-fold, suggesting the pr ...197616659532
[changes of glyco- and phospholipid contents during leaf senescence].the glyco- and phospholipid levels in green, green-yellow and yellow leaves of impatients balsamina l., daucus carota l. and cucurbita pepo l. were determined on a leaf area basis. in fagus silvatica l. leaves the kinetics of lipid breakdown during autumnal senescence was analysed. it was shown that yellow tissues still contain 40% to 50% of galactolipids and 50% to 60% of phospholipids present in green tissues. in the early stages of senescence of autumnal fagus leaves we found a more rapid dec ...197624430693

growth and sucrose metabolism of carrot callus strains with normal and low acid invertase activity.the properties of two strains of carrot (daucus carota) callus are presented. one has a very low acid invertase activity which is accompanied by differences in morphology and metabolic rate, but not in growth rate. we conclude that one of the main functions of plant acid invertases is in controlling the levels of sugars which, by interaction with hormones, affect differentiation, both morphological and biochemical. the effect of tris on sucrose metabolizing enzymes, and the cause of the "sucrose ...197628869296
[flavonols and flavones of vegetables. viii. flavones of carrot leaves (author's transl)].the flavonoid constituents of carrot leaves (daucus carota l. ssp. sativa) were separated by means of cellulose column chromatography, and the following compounds were obtained crystalline and identified by usual procedures: luteolin 7-beta-d-glucoside as the main flavon, luteolin 4'-beta-d-glucoside, luteolin 7-beta-d-glucuronide, apigenin 7-beta-d-glucoside, apigenin 7-rutinoside, chrysoeriol 7-beta-d-glucoside. luteolin 7-rutinoside also was identified, but could not be obtained crystalline.1977595898
effects of ethephon, ethylene, and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid on asexual embryogenesis in vitro.asexual embryogenesis in daucus carota l. ;queen anne's lace' callus was suppressed by ethephon, ethylene, and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-d). the ethephon effect could be attributed to volatile and nonvolatile substances. the volatile component was probably entirely ethylene. ethylene was liberated in the cultures in direct proportion to ethephon added to the medium. autoclaving of ethephon caused a substantial decrease of measurable ethylene. continuous exposure of callus to 5 mul/l et ...197716660109
somatic hybridisation of daucus carota and d. capillifolius by protoplast fusion.protoplasts isolated from cultured cells of albino carrot (daucus carota) and normal green d. capillifolius were fused by polyethylene glycol. selection of somatic hybrid plants was based on the restoration of photosynthetic function in hybrids. green plantlets selected from embryo cultures were characterized on the basis of leaf morphology. the interspecific protoplast fusion resulted in green plants with leaves which were intermediate between those of the parents. the somatic hybrids between o ...197724317689
morphometric measurements of daucus carota suspension culture cells.standard stereologic methods have been applied to electron micrographs of daucus carota l. suspension culture cells. the relative frequencies of the different membrane systems within the cells have been determined and compared with published data form mature leaf cells.197724420523
purification and substrate specifities of hydroxycinnamate: coa ligase from anthocyanin-containing and anthocyanin-free carrot cells.callus cells of daucus carota l. have different phenylpropanoid pathways depending on the medium composition. cells propagated on a medium with gibberellic acid do not accumulate cyanidin but incorporate [(14)c]phenylalanine into chlorogenic acid at a high rate. cells grown on a medium free of gibberellic acid accumulate cyanidin in very large amounts. we here describe partial purification of hydroxycinnamate: coa ligase, and its properties in these two cell lines. the enzymes extracted from the ...197724420100
synthesis of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase in anthocyanin-containing and anthocyanin-free callus cells of daucus carota l.when callus cells of daucus carota are grown on a medium containing gibberellic acid (ga3) in a physiological concentration of 3x10(-6) m the cells cease to accumulate anthocyanins. this anthocyanin-free cell line has a very low activity of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase. after density labelling with d2o an intensive de novo synthesis of the phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (e.c. 4.3.1.5; pal) in the anthocyanin-containing cells does occur. 58% of the c-bound h-atoms are replaced by deuterium. the antho ...197724419894
relation between auxin autotrophy and tryptophan accumulation in cultured plant cells.auxin autotrophy was studied in cultured carrot (daucus carota l.), tobacco (nicotiana tabacum l.), and potato (solanum tuberosum l.) cell lines. of 10 carrot lines resistant to 5-methyltryptophan (5mt), which accumulate free tryptophan (trp) because of an altered control enzyme, 5 were auxinautotrophic while the normal parent line was not. carrot lines selected from the same parent line as resistant to other amino-acid analogs were not auxinautotrophic, like the parent. the only 5mt-resistant p ...197724419686
