RESUMO
The disappearance of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) from cell-free liquid culture medium was followed in response to nutrient salts found in Murashige-Skoog salt base, light, and pH range of 4 to 7. The loss of IAA was accelerated by light or Murashige-Skoog salts. However, the combination of both light and Murashige-Skoog salts acted synergistically to catalyze the destruction of over 80% of the original IAA within 7 days of continuous incubation. Under these same conditions, the loss of IAA was decreased to approximately 50% by adjusting the initial pH of the medium to 7. Iron was identified as the single major contributor to light-catalyzed destruction of IAA. Removal of nitrates, which represented 87% of the molar salt composition, also reduced the light-catalyzed loss of IAA. Treatments that protected IAA from degradation, such as darkness or removal of iron from the medium, suppressed the growth of muskmelon (Cucumis melo. Naud., var. reticulatus) callus tissue cultured for 30 days. Treatments in the light that rapidly degraded IAA resulted in maximum growth. Consequently, the brief exposure to IAA prior to degradation was apparently sufficient to initiate physiological changes required for growth. Possible approaches to the preservation of IAA during incubation are discussed.
