At the 4th week of chilling treatment, which is sufficient to induce generative development in 30 % of plants, the marked increase in free and conjugated forms of Put and free Spd were observed. The presence of ZEN in medium significantly accelerated the vernalization. About 20 % of plants treated with ZEN flowered already after 2 weeks and 40 % after 3 weeks of chilling. Significantly higher content of free Put was determined in roots grown on MSZEN compared with MS0 during the first 5 weeks of vernalization with maximum at the 4th week. After germination, a marked decrease in free Spd content was observed both in plants grown on MS0 and MSZEN. Application of ZEN significantly slowed down the Spd decline in leaves and roots during the first and second week of vernalization. The content of Spd and its conjugates decreased in vernalized plants after 1 week of cultivation at 20 °C. Additional key wordsflowering-polyamine conjugates-putrescine-spermidine- Triticum aestivum
2-Aminoindan-2-phosphonic acid (AIP), a potent inhibitor of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL; EC ... more 2-Aminoindan-2-phosphonic acid (AIP), a potent inhibitor of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL; EC 4.3.1.5), was applied to highly synchronous meristematic cells of Vicia faba roots containing cells in G1/S and G2/M cell cycle checkpoints. The inhibition resulted in a slight decline of the content of hydroxycinnamic derivatives 3.5 h after the AIP application. Flow cytometric analyses and BrdU immunolabelling of replicated cells

The shoot-forming capacity was higher in the apical part than in the basal part. However, the timing of root formation was in the apical type

Bright Yellow 2). Progression through the cell cycle was characterized by specific biphasic changes of PA levels. The first, moderate peak in the amount of free PAs coincided with the S-phase. After a transient decline in G2 phase the contents of free PAs increased rapidly and peaked again during G2/M interface. Then sharply decreased with the minimum at the end of mitosis and during M/G1 transition and started to rise again with the next replication phase. Levels of PA soluble conjugates paralleled those of the free forms. Biosynthetic enzyme activities followed the biphasic manner analogous to the levels of free PAs and seemed to be regulated on both transcriptional and (post)translational level. PA cell...

Simultaneously changes in endogenous contents of both free and conjugated forms of polyamines (PAs) were investigated for 3 days. The application of 0.05 mM Cd2+ evoked decline

Lignification of cell walls increased significantly in both oak and cherry roots during the period of acclimation and finally lignin content of root

The levels of all investigated forms of phenolic acids in AIP-treated cells were lower than those of control with the exception of free phenolic acids on
