RESUMO
Indoleacetic acid oxidase in tobacco callus tissues (Nicotiana tabacum L., cultivar White Gold) was resolved into seven anionic isoenzymes by polyacrylamide gel disc electrophoresis. Different concentrations of kinetin and zeatin in the presence of indoleacetic acid affected the level of this enzyme, particularly two fast-moving isoenzymes, A5 and A6. The optimal concentration of kinetin was 0.2 μm; increasing concentrations above this level progressively lowered the total activity of indoleacetic acid oxidase and repressed the development of isoenzymes A5 and A6. Actinomycin D and cycloheximide inhibited the development of these two isoenzymes under the influence of 0.2 μm kinetin, suggesting a requirement for RNA and protein synthesis. The cytokinin-promoted indoleacetic acid oxidase isoenzymes A5 and A6 increased with time and paralleled the dry weight increase of tobacco callus tissues, but the total activity of indoleacetic acid oxidase per unit dry weight of tobacco callus varied with time depending on the stage of plant growth.
