Presence and Possible Mode of Action of a Proteinaceous Gonadotropin-like Growth Regulating Factor in Plant Systems 1

RESUMO
Antiserum to human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) caused marked inhibition of adventitious rooting of Begonia semperflorens and Chrysanthemum morifolium stem cuttings. Immuno-absorption of crude protein extract from chrysanthemum foliage through a column of polymerized and unsolubilized HCG antibodies resulted in a significant reduction in adventitious root promoting activity of the extract. These results are discussed in the light of a hypothesis that an endogenous protein growth regulating substance which immunologically resembles HCG exists in plant systems. Further experimentation with HCG suggests that its mode of action is possibly via the regulation of peroxidase enzymatic control of auxin levels.
