Abstract
With two extraction procedures differing in the very first extraction steps two cytokinins from a total amount of 180 kg sunflower leaves could be isolated. One of these cytokinins is identified as zeatin by Rf values, UV absorption, melting point of its picrate and its biological activity. The same data are given for the other cytokinin, which is very probably ribosylzeatin. The total free cytokinin content of sunflower leaves is calculated to be 50–90 μg of kinetin equivalent, or 5–9 μg of zeatin, per kg of fresh leaves. Besides the leaf extraction, 100 l of root exudate of sunflowers were collected and the cytokinin was isolated. The root exudate contains 5–6 μg of kinetin equivalent, or 0,5–0,6 μg zeatin per 1 bleeding sap. The Rf values and UV absorption are similar to the corresponding data recorded for zeatin. 100 Liter Blutungssaft und 50 kg (1966) und 130 kg (1967) Blätter vonHelianthus annuus wurden auf ihre Cytokinine extrahiert. Der Blutungssaft enthielt 5–6 μg Kinetin-Äquivalente/l. Nach der Identifizierung der Cytokinine ausHelianthus-Blättern kann das Cytokinin aus dem Blutungssaft durch gleiches papierchromatographisches Verhalten als Zeatin angesprochen werden. Daraus ergibt sich eine Cytokininkonzentration von 0,5–0,6 μg Zeatin/l Blutungssaft. Helianthus-Blätter enthalten 50–90 μg Kinetin-Äquivalente/kg Frischgewicht. Es konnten 2 Cytokininfraktionen getrennt isoliert, biologisch getestet und als Pikrate kristallisiert werden. Dabei handelt es sich nach allen Kriterien um das Zeatin und das Ribosylzeatin, die in einem Verhältnis von etwa 2:3 bis 1:2 vorliegen.Keywords
