The effect of meta-topolin on protein profile in radish cotyledons

摘要

Meta-topolin (mT) has been established as an active aromatic cytokinin recently. The present investigation assessed the effects of mT on radish cotyledon growth and protein content. 0.05 to 1 mM mT increased the cotyledon growth about 2 fold in fresh weight basis. mT at 0.1, 0.25 and 0.5 mM concentrations caused an increase in soluble protein levels compared to the control cotyledons almost in the same ratio by 3 %. Compared to control cotyledons analysis of the soluble proteins displayed different electrophoretic pattern in mT treated cotyledons.
