Spermidine, spermine and IAA promoted an increase in $\beta$-1, 4-endoglucanase activity in hypocotyls of Glycine max. The optimal concentration for the increase of the enzyme activity was 10-6 M for spermidine, 10-8 M for spermine and 10-6 M for IAA. However, IAA had innocuous effect on arginine decarboxylase and ornithine decarboxylase activites, and the content of polyamine. Such cumulative results suggest that the increase in $\beta$-1, 4-endoglucanase activity by IAA is not attributed by the effect on the biosynthesis of polyamine by IAA but spermidine, spermine and IAA induce cell wall loosening and therefore extension growth of cells.

The intracellular localizations of polyamines and their related enzymes were investigated from young spinach leaves. Polyamines were present in all parts of plant cells, both in the subcellular organelles and in the soluble fraction of cytoplasm, however, polyamines were mainly located in the cytosolic fraction. Most activities of L-arginine decarboxylase(ADC) and L-ornithine decarboxylase(ODC), two important enzymes of putrescine and polyamine biosynthesis, were detected in cytosol fraction, while in subcellular organelles the activities were very low. Activities of diamine oxidase(DAO) and polyamine oxidase(PAO), the catabolic enzyme of diamine and polyamine, were not detected in spinach leaves. It was suggested that polyamines and their related synthetic enzymes were located in the soluble fraction of cytoplasm.

Polyamine titers and the activities of arginine decarboxylase(ADC) and ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), enzymes which catalyze rate-limiting steps in polyamine biosynthesis, were investigated during polar regeneration of Populus leaf segments. The polar regeneration occurred at the basal cut end of Populus leaf segments through cell division around the vascular bundle. In the process of polar regeneration, the titers of putrescine and spermidine increased rapidly but the content of spermine remained constant. The leaf segments were then divided into three separte part ; the proximal, middle and distal. Spermidine titers showed an increase mainly in the proximal parts where polar regeneration occurred. On the other hand, putrescine titers showed an increase in the other two parts. In the course of polar regeneration, the activities of ADC and ODC increased, the ADC activities being higher than those of ODC. However, ODC activity was higher in the proximal part. Therefore, the spermidine contents and ODC activities are suggested to be related to polar regeneration in Populus leaf segments.

인삼에서의 polyamine의 함량과 그 합셩효소에 대해서 관찰하였다. 종자의 경우 주된 polyamine은 putrescine이며, 성장하면서 putrescine이 증가되고 있다. ADC는 putrescine의 증가와 같은 경향으로 활성도가 증가되고 있다. ADC는 활성도는 putrescine에 의해서는 별 영향을 안 받았으나, spermidine은 10%내외, spermine은 20% 정도의 inhibition을 받았다. 주로 많았으며, spermidine도 상당히 많았다. 오히려 putrescine이 상대적으로 적었다. 부위별로는 잎이 가장 많고 엽병, 뿌리 그리고 줄기 순으로 분포한다. ADC의 활성도 polyamine 함량과 같은 경향을 보인다.

Effects of polyamines on DNA synthesis were studied in synchronized culture of Nicotiana tabacum L. When DFMO and DFMA, inhibitors of ornithine decarboxylase and arginine decarboxylase, respectively were initially applied to the cells, the polyamine contents were rapidly dropped and [methyl-3H] thymidine incorporation into DNA was markedly reduced during the early stage of culture period. Inhibition of DNA synthesis, however, was partially reversed when these inhibitors were applied simultaneously with putrescine. In addition, exogenous administration of putrescine also increased the DNA synthesis during the all over the culture period. In vitro activity of DNA polymerase from Nicotiana tabacum L. was promoted by increasing concentrations of polyamines in the reaction mixture. Maximal activity was shown at 5 mM putrscine, 0.5 mM spermidine and spermine, respectively. Lack of Mg2+ ion in the reaction buffer resulted in an inhibition of the enzyme activity by about 30%. The inhibition could not be completely reversed by application of polyamines at optimal concentrations. These results suggest that polyamines promote the DNA synthesis in vivo and in vitro by stabilizing the DNA-helix upon binding to negatively charged groups on DNA or increasing the activity of DNA polymerase in Nicotiana tabacum L.

To elucidate the effect of elevated sublethal temperature ($33\pm1^{\circ}C$) on polyamine metabolism and oogenesis, we investigated alterations in the major polyamines and ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) and arginine decarboxylase (ADC), and ovarian development during the pupal-adult development of the tobacco budworm, Helicoverpa assulta. Ovaries ODC activity under the elevated sublethal temperature ($33\pm1^{\circ}C$) were lower than those of the optimal rearing temperature ($25\pm1^{\circ}C$). whereas ovarian ADC activity was consistently higher than the optimal rearing temperature ($25\pm1^{\circ}C$). When the gonads were exposed to the higher temperature, ovarian putrescine showed somewhat suppressed levels throughout development, indicating a relatively high correlationship with the alteration aspects in ODC or ADC activity under elevated sublethal temperature. A somewhat precocious ovary was observed in an early stage of development at $33\pm1^{\circ}C$, but cellular abnormalities occurred in this ovary. The ovary developed under elevated sublethal temperature was observed the inhibitional effect of polyamine metabolism and the abnormal development of ovariole, which seem to be related to the sterility.
