Abstract

The role of phytohormones in genetic tumor formation on radish crop-roots was investigated using the collection of inbred Raphanus sativus lines as a model system. The genetic analysis showed that the trait <<tumor formation>> was recessive and monogenic in some crossings. The spectrum of main phytohormones in tumor and non-tumor radish lines has shown that at the initiation of tumor formation (30 days old plants) the amounts of main cytokinins in the lower part of plants from the tumor line were dramatically increased. The transformation of the non-tumor line by the ipt gene of Agrobacterium tumefaciens resulted in tumor formation in plants of the T1 progeny. We propose that increasing the cytokinin/auxin ratio may lead to tumor formation on radish crop roots.
