Durum wheat cultivars for North-Eastern Oregon have to be competitive
in terms of their yield potential with soft white winter wheat cultivars and meet
strict quality requirements of the milling industry. Combining the high yield
potential of fall planted durum wheat cultivars which have an acceptable level of
winter hardiness...
Endogenous concentrations of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and cytokinins were compared to the tendency for plagiogravitropjc growth in rooted stein cuttings of Douglas-fir. A chromatographic method was developed for
the purification and quantitation of trace levels of IAA. Two elutions with reverse-phase high performance liquid
chromatography (HPLC) using a fluorescence detector...
Cytokinins can be conjugated to N- and O-glucosides. While N-glucosylation generally leads to irretrievable loss of activity, O-glucosides are thought to play an important role in cytokinin storage and homeostasis since they can be hydrolyzed to the corresponding aglycones. The first zeatin O-glycosyltransferase genes isolated were ZOG1 and ZOX1 from...
