Popis: The metabolism of isopentenyl adenine, Δ-isopentenyl pyrophosphate, DL-mevalonic acid and adenine in detached inflorescence stalks of Yucca has been studied using radioactive tracer techniques. Xylem feeding of detached stalks with Δ-isopentenyl pyrophosphate, DL-mevalonic acid or adenine did not result in the formation of zeatin- or isopentenyl adenine cytokinins. In contrast isopentenyl adenine fed to a detached inflorescence stalk lead to the formation of isopentenyl- and zeatin nucleotides in the exudate. After alkaline phosphatase treatment of this exudate an unknown compound, presumably isopentenyl adenine-7-glucoside was also detected. The same compound was found after incubation of phloem exudate with isopentenyl adenine. The occurrence of both zeatin- and isopentenyl adenine nucleotides in phloem exudate from an attached inflorescence stalk of Yucca is described.
