[Effect of ambiol and 2-chloroethylphosphonic acid on the content of phytohormones in potato leaves and tubers].
The effects of the antioxidant Ambiol and 2-chlorethylphosphonic acid (2-CEPA) on individual concentrations and concentration ratios of phytohormones, photosynthesis and photophosphorylation rates, sucrose and starch content in tubers, and plant productivity were studied in potato (Solanum tuberosum L). Ambiol increased the ratio of indoleacetic acid (IAA) to abscisic acid (ABA), IAA/ABA, and that of zeatin (Z) and zeatin riboside (ZR) to ABA, (Z + ZR)/ABA. These effects were underlain by an increase in the content of auxins and cytokinins and a decrease in ABA. Unlike Ambiol, 2-CEPA increased the level of ABA, the effect being the most pronounced in the tubers. Ambiol increased the rates of photosynthesis and noncyclic photophosphorylation in chloroplasts isolated from potato leaves. The relation of this phenomenon to auxin and cytokinin accumulation, Ambiol- and 2-CEPA-induced changes in the hormonal balance of potato tubers, carbon metabolism, and plant productivity is discussed.
