RESUMO
We measured the level of xylem-derived cytokinins (CKs) entering a cotton leaf, and the CK levels in the same leaf, thus enabling xylem sap and foliar CKs to be compared concurrently. Although zeatin was the dominant CK in xylem sap, zeatin, dihydrozeatin, and N6-(2-isopentenyl) adenine were present in approximately equimolar levels in leaves. Elevated [CO2] (EC) has an effect on the levels of cytokinins in sap and leaf tissues. This effect was modulated by the two levels of root nitrogen nutrition (2 and 12 mm nitrate). Growth enhancement (70%) in EC over plants in ambient [CO2] (AC) was observed for both nitrogen nutrition treatments. Low-nitrogen leaves growing in EC exhibited photosynthetic acclimation, whereas there was no sign of photosynthetic acclimation in high-nitrogen grown leaves. Under these prevailing conditions, xylem sap and leaf tissues were obtained for CK analysis. Higher nitrogen nutrition increased the delivery per unit leaf area of CKs to the leaf at AC. EC caused a greater increase in CK delivery to the leaf at low nitrogen conditions (106%) than at high nitrogen conditions (17%). EC induced a significant increase in CK content in low-nitrogen leaves, whereas CK content in leaf tissues was similar for high-nitrogen leaves growing in AC and EC.
