TL;DR: The agrobacterial isopentenyltransferase (ipt) gene was transferred to poplar by an Agrobacterium co-cultivation method and the ipt-transformed stem explants developed calli that regenerated many buds in the absence of exogenous cytokinins.
Abstract: The agrobacterial isopentenyltransferase (ipt) gene, under the control of its native promoter, was transferred to poplar (Populus tremula x P. alba) by an Agrobacterium co-cultivation method. The ipt-transformed stem explants developed calli that regenerated many buds in the absence of exogenous cytokinins. Microcuttings of the ipt transformants exhibited frequently branching shoots with short internodes that were unable to root. In this material, the concentrations of zeatin, zeatin riboside and isopentenyladenosine, determined by an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), were 4.8-. 17.1- and 14.6-fold higher, respectively, than in non-transformed shoots. Results are discussed with regard to cytokinin metabolism.

TL;DR: An efficient system to regenerate shoots in vitro on excised leaves of lingonberry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea L.) was developed and zeatin was found to be more effective than TDZ or 2iP as an inductive signal for regenerating many vigorous shoots.
Abstract: SummaryAn efficient system to regenerate shoots in vitro on excised leaves of lingonberry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea L.) was developed. Leaf explants from shoot-proliferating cultures produced multiple shoots without an intermediary callus phase on zeatin (ZN)-containing shoot induction media within 3–4 weeks of culture initiation. Cultivars Regal and Splendor, and one clone from a natural stand in Estonia (ECL1), were used in the first experiment. Young expanding leaves with the adaxial side touching the culture medium, and maintained for 7 d in darkness, produced the best results. There were significant genotypic differences in adventitious shoot formation. A second experiment studied the effects of ten concentrations of three cytokinins: ZN at 5, 10, 20, 30 and 40 μM; 1-phenyl-3-(1,2,3-thiadiazol-5-yl) urea (thidiazuron, TDZ) at 0.1, 1, 5 and 10 μm; and 6-(γ-γ-dimethylallylamino) purine (2ip) at 25 μM were compared with leaf segments of different polarity in ‘ECL1’. Zeatin was found to be more effective th...

TL;DR: Three superior clones of Eucalyptus grandis hybrids were micropropagated through several steps to induce juvenile sprouts and regular subculture on the multiplication medium improved rooting significantly.
Abstract: Three superior clones of Eucalyptus grandis hybrids were micropropagated through several steps. Five-year-old trees were girdled to induce juvenile sprouts. Cultures were attempted from mature branches and sprouts. Branches from mature trees were 100% contaminated while sprouts were only 40% contaminated. Pre-initiation hormone free medium and dark environment were used to screen for contaminants and to reduce production of phenolic compounds. Initiation of auxillary buds was achieved with modified MS plus 0.05 mg/l NAA and 0.5 mg/l BAR High multiplication rates were obtained on auxin-free medium with 0.6 mg/1 BAR Elongation of shoots was best on media with high auxin (2.5 mg/l of IBA) and cytokinin (1–1.5 mg/l of zeatin). Continual subculture on the multiplication medium improved rooting significantly. Up to 98% rooting was achieved on 1/4 MS with 2 mg/l IBA. Rooted propagules were successfully transferred to a mist greenhouse with 82% survival, and then to greenhouse conditions.

TL;DR: This study evaluated the effects of salt stress on leaf relative water content, soluble protein, the phytohormones indole acetic acid, gibberellic acid, zeatin, and abscisic acid levels in P. vulgaris and P. acutifolius and responded to all tested NaCl levels by increasing zeatIn concentrations after short-term NaCl treatment.
Abstract: Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is sensitive to drought and salinity, while an ancestral legume, tepary bean (P. acutifolius A. Gray) is cultivated successfully where high temperature and drought are common (Lazcano-Ferrat and Lovatt, 1999). Hence, P. acutifolius is a potential source of stress tolerant traits for P. vulgaris through interspecific hybrids. This study comparatively evaluated the effects of salt stress on leaf relative water content (RWC), soluble protein, the phytohormones indole acetic acid (IAA), gibberellic acid (GA3), zeatin, and abscisic acid (ABA) levels in P. vulgaris and P. acutifolius. With the exception of ABA, stress-induced changes in hormonal levels putatively related to stress tolerance have not been investigated previously in either species. Treatment with 50 mM, 100 mM and 150 mM NaCl reduced relative water and protein content in P. vulgaris, but did not affect relative water content and increased protein content in P. acutifolius. Varietal differences between P. vulgaris and P. acutifolius were also observed in hormonal content during the stress period. ABA levels in salt-treated plants of P. vulgaris increased but did not change in P. acutifolius versus the controls. Both IAA and gibberellin levels increased in leaves of P. acutifolius but decreased in P. vulgaris under salt stress. In salt-treated plants, zeatin concentrations in leaves of P. vulgaris decreased within 24–72 h after treatment. However, P. acutifolius responded to all tested NaCl levels by increasing zeatin concentrations after short-term NaCl treatment.

TL;DR: Zeatin mitigated cognitive deficits and showed AChE inhibition in scopolamine (Scop)-induced mice following 21 d of zeatin treatment, suggesting that zeatIn might be useful for protecting cognitive dysfunction, as well as for reducing the activation of ACh E in dementia.
Abstract: In this study, our aim was to clarify the ameliorative effects of zeatin, a development hormone in plants. Zeatin mitigated cognitive deficits and showed AChE inhibition in scopolamine (Scop)-induced mice following 21 d of zeatin treatment. After administration of Scop for 30 min, each mouse performed Y-maze and step-down latency tasks as a check on immediate against cognitive function. The results showed that zeatin administration attenuated Scop-induced memory damage and decreased AChE activity in the mice. This suggests that zeatin might be useful for protecting cognitive dysfunction, as well as for reducing the activation of AChE in dementia.
