Nowadays, this view is disputed, because of the low level of endogenous GAs within the caryopses and because of a-amylase induction in the presence of inhibitors of GA biosynthesis (Grosselindemann et al., 1988; Lenton and Appleford, 1991). However, endogenous GA conjugates, which are known to accumulate e.g. in legume seeds during maturation, might serve as a pool of GAs during germination, provided they are present in cereals too, and are hydrolysed during germination to yield free GAs.

Partial Characterization of Butanol-Insoluble Metabolites of [3H]GA1 in Maturing Fruits of Phaseolus coccineus L

The butanol-insoluble fraction was found to contain more than 20% of the total radioactivity. The metabolites in this fraction were partly characterized as [3H]GA8-2-0-glucoside and a glucosyl conjugate of a tetra or higher hydroxylated gibberellin using TLC, HPLC, enzvmic methods, and comparison with authentic compounds as well.

Investigations on the occurrence of P-Glycosidases in Phaseolus coccineus L

The specificity of the enzyme fractions was determined using p-nitrophenyl-β-D-glucopyranoside, cellobiose and gibberellin-0-glucosides. Soluble enzymes. extracts from roots of seedlings germinated in soil showed gibberellin-0-glucoside splitting activity which is thought to be caused by the influence of microorganisms contaminating the root cortex. This assumption is supported by the fact that enzyme extracts from roots without cortex and enzyme extracts from roots of seedlings grown in sterilized saw-dust did not exhibit this specificity. β-Gluco-sidase preparations from cotyledons showed very weak hydrolytic activity against several gibberellin0-glucosides without any remarkable preference of a substrate. Therefore the physiological significance of β-glucosidase responsible for hydrolysis of gibberellin-0-glucosides during germination remains to be elucidated.

Biochemical and Physiological Aspects of Gibberellin Conjugation

The process of conjugation is characterized by coupling of a plant hormone molecule to another low-molecular-weight component by covalent binding.1,2 Contrary to biosynthetic and other metabolic pathways, conjugation does not exclude reversibility. Plant hormone conjugates differ from the corresponding free hormones with respect to their physical, chemical, and biological properties.3 Though the physiological role of conjugation is not fully understood, it is considered to be involved in the regulation of the biologically active hormone levels as well as in transport and even compartmentation within the cell.

Recombinant CCD1 has been shown to catalyze symmetrical cleavage of C40 carotenoid substrates at 9,10 and 9′,10′ positions. The actual substrate(s) of the enzyme in planta, however, is still unknown. In this study, we have carried out RNA interference (RNAi)-mediated repression of a Medicago truncatula CCD1 gene in hairy roots colonized by the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus Glomus intraradices. As a consequence, the normal AM-mediated accumulation of apocarotenoids (C13 cyclohexenone and C14 mycorradicin derivatives) was differentially modified. Mycorradicin derivatives were strongly reduced to 3% to 6% of the controls, while the cyclohexenone derivatives were only reduced to 30% to 47%. Concomitantly, a yellow-orange color appeared in RNAi roots. Based on ultraviolet light spectra and mass spectrometry analyses, the new compounds are C27 apocarotenoic acid derivat...
