Abstract

The influence of $N^6-benzyladenine$ (BA) on in vitro growth, chlorophyll, rubisco and rubisco activase were studied in tobacco. After 11 weeks of treatment of various concentrations of BA, the most pronounced effect on in vitro growth and chlorophyll was found at 2 ${\mu}M$ BA. Rubisco content increased with increasing concentrations of BA, but a point at 2 ${\mu}M$ BA was reached beyond which increasing concentrations of BA cause inhibition of this enzyme. Rubisco activity showed patterns of change similar to rubisco content. These data suggest that rubisco activity was associated with an amount of rubisco protein. Under the assumption that effects of BA on rubisco may be related to by rubisco activase, in addition to, its content and activity were determined. The rubisco activase content at 2 ${\mu}M$ BA was more increased than other treatments. A similar change pattern was also observed in activity of rubisco activase. These results suggest that the effects of the activation of rubisco by BA seem to be related with rubisco activase.

담배에서 기내 생장, 엽록소 및 광합성 효소인 rubisco와 rubisco activase에 미치는 벤질 아데닌(BA)의 영향을 연구하였다. 여러 농도의 BA 처리 후 11주에 2 ${\mu}M$의 농도에서 기내 생장과 엽록소의 함량이 가장 현저하였다. Rubisco의 함량은 BA의 농도가 증가함에 따라 같이 증가하여 2 ${\mu}M$에서 가장 높았으나, 이후 농도의 증가에 따라 감소함으로서 억제 현상을 보였다. Rubisco의 활성 또한 함량과 같은 현상을 나타냈다. 이 결과들은 rubisco의 활성이 함량과 연관되어 있음을 의미한다. Rubisco에 대한 이러한 효과가 rubisco activase와 관련되어 있을 것이라는 가정하에 이 효소의 함량과 활성을 측정한 결과, 2 ${\mu}M$ BA에서 가장 증가하였다. 이러한 결과들을 종합하면 BA에 의한 rubisco의 활성화 효과는 rubisco activase와 관련되어 있음을 보여준다.
