摘要
Effects of exogenous polyamines and difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) on seed germination and seedling root growth of Arabidopsis thaliana were investigated. Root growth was stimulated by low concentrations of putrescine but was increasingly inhibited by high concentrations of putrscine. DFMO inhibited root growth and this inhibition was reversed by applying putrescine. In contrast, both spermidine and spermine had no effect on root growth but inhibited seed germination. The results suggest a possible requirement of endogeneous putrescine for normal root growth of Arabidopsis seedlings.
