When bougainvilleas are subjected to indoor low-light conditions, flower bracts regularly abscise. This study elucidates the effects of plant growth regulators on bract longevity of potted bougainvillea. Potted 'Taipei Red' bougainvillea in four different bract development stages were treated with 1-MCP (1-methylcyclopropene), NAA (1-naphthaleneacetic acid), SNA (sodium salt of naphthaleneacetic acid), IBA (indolebutyric acid), BA (6-benzylaminopurine), $KH_2PO_4$ (potassium dihydrogen phosphate), Put (diamine putrescine), SA (salicylic acid), or STS (silver thiosulfate) and were moved to indoor low-light conditions after treatments. Experimental results indicate that 1-MCP, NAA, SNA, BA, Put, and SA prolonged bract longevity, and this effect increased as bract stage increased. The effect of STS was significant in early bract stages and decreased as bract stages increased. Additionally, 1-MCP, NAA, SNA, BA, Put, SA, and STS treatment significantly reduced endogenous ACC (1-aminocyclopropene-1-carboxylate) content and ACC oxidase activity, suggesting that the inhibition of ethylene production was achieved via physiological metabolism. However, treatment with IBA or $KH_2PO_4$ had no effect on the bract longevity at any stage. In the combined chemical treatments, NAA + STS or NAA + SA were effectively for prolonging bract longevity and contained less protein or chlorophyll degradation, decrease ACC oxidase or ethylene production than the control. In conclusion, we propose that combined chemical treatment significantly prolonged the bract longevity and more effectively than single chemical treatment at any stage.

에틸렌의 수용체와의 결합을 방해함으로써 에틸렌의 작용을 방해하는 물질은 1-MCP의 처리를 통하여 단감 과실의 과육 연화에 대한 에틸렌의 영향을 밝히기 위한 실험을 수행하였다. 1-MCP와 에틸렌의 처리에 따른 경도 변화의 양상은 cellulase, PG, PME, ${\beta}$-galactosidase 등의 세포벽 분해 효소의 활성 변화 양상과 유사하였으며, 이들 효소의 활성은 1-MCP의 처리에 의해 저하되었다. 이러한 결과는 에틸렌의 영향에 의한 각종 세포벽 분해 효소의 활성화가 저장 후 단감 과실의 과육 연화 현상과 밀접한 관련이 있음을 보인다. 그러나 연화 지연 효과와는 달리 저장 후의 단감 과실에서 1-MCP는 에틸렌의 생성, 즉 ACC의 축적 및 ACC oxidase 활성을 억제하지 못하였으며, 이러한 사실은 저장 후 단감 과실에 있어서 과육의 연화 현상이 과실의 에틸렌 생성량 그 자체보다는 과실의 에틸렌에 대한 반응성에 보다 밀접하게 관련되어 있음을 보인다.

Effect of Ca2+ on the conversion of 1-aminocycloprophane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) to ethylene was studied with 2.5 day-old mung bean hypocotyl segments. The conversion of ACC in these tissues was inhibited by plasmolysis and sulfosuccinimidyl (hydroxyphenyl) propionate (sulfo-SHPP). The ACC induced ethylene production in HC (high calcium)-tissue grown on the Ca2+ added medium was greater than that in N (normal)-tissue. HC-tissue had a lower inhibition rate of ACC conversion by EGTA and Ca2+ -channel blockers than N-tissue. The rates of the ACC conversion by both kinds of tissues were stimulated by the Ca2+ ionophore A23187. From these results, we suggests a mechanism for the stimulative effect of Ca2+ on the conversion of ACC to ethylene as follows; in some tissues where ACC conversion is linked with plasma membrane, Ca2+ may be transported from apoplast through Ca2+ -channel into the cytoplasm ad stimulate ACC-oxidase activity.

Senescence of Hosta ventricosa flowers was firstly characterized as ethylene-sensitive since the deterioration of the tepal was accompanied by increased endogenous ethylene biosynthesis. The full-length cDNAs and DNAs of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) synthase (ACS) and ACC oxidase (ACO) involved in ethylene biosynthesis were cloned from H. ventricosa flowers. The HvACS ORF with 1347 bp and two introns, encoded a polypeptide of 448 amino acids showing 79% homology with that in Musa acuminata. The HvACO ORF contained 957 bp and three introns, encoding a 318-residue polypeptide showing 83% homology with that in Narcissus tazetta. The timing of the induction of HvACS expression was in correspond to the timing of the increase in ethylene production, and that the up-regulation of HvACO transcript was closely correlated with an elevated ethylene production, but underwent a down-regulation in wounded leaves with elevated ethylene emission. The results, together with expression analysis in vegetative tissues, suggested that both HvACS and HvACO were specifically regulated by flower senescence.

Quercetin(3,5,7,3'-4'-OH-flavone)이 보리(Hordeum vulgare var. hexastichon ASCHERS.) 자엽초 조직에서 옥신유발 에틸렌 생성을 현저히 촉진시켰다. $3{\times}10^{-5}\;M$의 quercetin에서 배양한 보리 자엽초 조직에서 옥신 유발 에틸렌 생성은 4시간 이후부터 증가되기 시작하여 8시간 이후에는 200%까지 증가되었다. Quercetin은 내재옥신인 indol-3-acetic acid(IAA)에 의한 에틸렌 생성은 촉진하나 합성 옥신인 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid(2,4-D)나 naphthaleneacetic acid(NAA)에 의한 에틸렌 생성에는 아무런 영향을 주지 않았다. 또한, 에틸렌 전구체인 1-aminocyclopropen-1-carboxylic acid(ACC) 유발 에틸렌 생성에도 촉진효과가 없었다. 이러한 결과는 에틸렌 생성에 대한 quercetin의 효과는 ACC 전단계에 작용한다는 것을 의미한다. Quercetin이 IAA 대사에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 확인한 결과 조직을 quercetin에 1시간 배양시켰을 때 조직내 IAA oxidase 효소 활성이 90% 감소되었으며, IAA conjugation에는 별 영향을 미치지 않았다. 따라서, 옥신 유발 에틸렌 생성에 대한 quercetin의 촉진작용은 quercetin이 IAA oxidase의 활성을 억제시켜 높아진 IAA 수준이 옥신 유발 에틸렌 생성을 증가시키는 것으로 생각된다.

본 연구는 옥수수 뿌리에서 cytokinin ($N^6$-benzyladenine; BA)과 IAA를 각각 혹은 같이 처리하여 ethylene 생성에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 두 호르몬을 외부에서 동시에 처리하면 ethylene 생성은 각각 처리하였을 때 보다 함께 처리하면 상승적으로 증가하였다. 예를 들면, $10^{-4}\;M$ BA와 $10^{-4}\;M$ IAA를 처리하면 ethylene 생성량은 각각 대조구의 87%와 170% 증가되지만 함께 처리하면 대조구의 480%가 증가된다. 이러한 상승적 효과는 에틸렌생성에 관여하는 효소인 ACC synthase의 활성과 유전자 발현 수준에서도 볼 수가 있었다. 그러나 에틸렌 생성에 관여하는 다른 효소인 ACC oxidase의 활성에서는 관찰되지 않았다. 이러한 결과는 cytokinin인 BA와 IAA가 옥수수 뿌리에서 ACC synthase에 영향을 미쳐 ethylene 생성을 상승적으로 촉진시킨다는 사실을 제시한다.

The possibility that 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC)-uptake may be dependent on the H+-gradient established across the plsma membrane was tested in protoplasts isolated from 2.5 day old mungbean hypocotyls. The ACC-induced ethylene production was inhibited when the H+-gradient was collapsed by the treatment with carbonycyamide-p-trifluro-methoxy-phenylhydrazone (FCCP). Moreover, the treatment with o-vanadate, a specific inhibitor of plasma membrane H+-ATPase, caused the inhibition of ethylene production. The ACC-induced ethylene production was inhibited by the treatemnt with verapamil (Ca2+-channel blocker), or ethylene glycol-bis($\beta$-aminoethyl ether) N, N, N', N'-tetraacetic acid (EGTA) (Ca2+-chelator). In contrast, the ehtylene production was stimulated by the application of A23187 (Ca2+ ionophore). The inhibitory effect of EGTA in the ethylene producton was magnified in the presence of A23187. From these results, we suggest that the external Ca2+ influx to the cytosol resulted in the stimulatin of ACC oxidase activity after ACC-uptake resulting from a H+-gradient across the plasma membrane.
