Abstract

Arginine decarboxylase (ADC), ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), diamine oxydase (DAO) free amine and conjugated amine titers were estimated in leaf explants of Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat. var. Spinder cultivated in vitro in relation to hormone treatment. Addition of benzyladenine (BA) to a basal medium caused the formation of buds on the explants. BA plus 2,4 dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4 D) caused callus formation and proliferation. Formation of roots was obtained by addition of indolylacetic acid (IAA). Arginine decarboxylase (ADC) ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) and diamine oxidase (DAO) activities increased during the first days of culture when cell multiplication was rapid, followed by a sharp decline as the rate of cell division decreased and differentiation took place. DAO activities increased rapidly in proliferating and growing organs and decreased during maturity. This increase was concomitant with ADC and ODC activities and polyamine content (free and conjugated polyamines). The biosynthesis and oxidation of polyamines which occurred simultaneously in physiological states of intense metabolism such as cell division or organ formation were directly correlated. In callus cultures DAO activity was blocked throughout development and regulated neither the cellular levels of polyamines nor polyamine conjugates. Levels of polyamine conjugates were high in callus cultures throughout development. In foliar explants cultivated on a medium promoting callus, inhibition of ODC activity by DFMO (α-DL-difluoromethylornithine, a specific enzyme-activated ODC inhibitor) resulting in an amide deficiency facilated the expression of differentiated cell function; substantial activation of DAO was observed until the emergence of the buds. On a medium promoting bud formation, β-OH ethylhydrazine (DAO inhibitor) promoted callus formation without differentiation. In this system DAO activity was blocked and there were high levels of polyamines, especially polyamine conjugates, throughout the culture period. The relationship among free and conjugated polyamines related biosynthetic enzyme activities, DAO activities, cell division and organ formation is discussed.
