PETITION: Petition of substance for inclusion on the National List of Substances allowed in Organic Production and Handling Indole-3-butyric acid, IBA To be allowed in ‘Organic Production’ for purposes of plant propagation from cuttings. For use on annual, perennial and woody plants. Application shall be made in enclosed structures. Rates shall be limited to aqueous solution up to 2500 ppm IBA and dry powder up to 0.8% IBA. Page 3 of 33 INTRODUCTION Indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) is a natural substance found in plants. It is used to propagate new plants from cuttings, the most used substance for this purpose. It is effective, and safe to the environment, humans and animals. For commercial use, IBA must be synthesized. A. PETITION IBA is to be allowed in ‘Organic Production’ • Use is limited to plant propagation from cuttings, • All plant types which can be propagated from cuttings can be used: annual, perennial and woody plants. • Rates are to be limited in aqueous solution up to 2500 ppm IBA and dry powder up to 0.8% IBA. • ‘Spot use’ application is to be made in ‘enclosed structures’. Field broadcasting is not allowed. • Solutions are specified to be ‘aqueous’ assuring only water can be used as the solute. B. USES IBA is used, once or few times, at extremely low rates near the time cuttings are taken. It is many weeks or months after application before crops are taken. C. NEED FOR IBA BY ORGANIC FARMERS Plants propagated from cuttings are clonal copies of the mother plant. IBA allows the plant cuttings to produce new roots rapidly. IBA is used to propagate most plants which can be reproduced from cuttings. IBA is used these purposes: 1. Many crops are impossible to root from cuttings, such as bay and rosemary. 2. Crops which are difficult to root, and take a long time to develop roots are under stress susceptible to pathogenic fungi such as Phytophthora. Rapid root formation eliminates stress and allow plants to overcome these fungi. 3. Many seedless crop plants are not available to the organic market such as seedless tomato, cucumber, melon, and squash. Propagation from cuttings using IBA allows growers to produce many kinds of seedless crops like beans, tomato, cucumber, squash, and melon. Propagation from cuttings using IBA yields new plants that are identical to the mother plant.. 4. Many crops can only retain flavor if clonal propagated from cuttings such as mints and basal. Seed propagated basal plant variable flavors; propagation by cuttings using IBA produce exact flavors as the mother plants Page 4 of 33 5. Organic crops that are currently propagated using IBA or TC must be kept one year under organic conditions before being called ‘organic’. IBA on the approved list allows crops to be taken any time after propagation. For example, strawberry and raspberry are sometimes propagated by tissue culture or from cutting using IBA. During the first year of growing under organic conditions they are considered conventional. Propagation using allowed IBA will allow growing under ‘organic’ conditions to be called ‘organic’ any time. D. LONG HISTORY OF SAFETY As a natural substance, IBA has been shown to have no detrimental effect on the environment. Since identification in 1934, IBA has been shown to be safe to humans and the environment. E. ORGANIC PRODUCTION STATUS There are presently no allowed substances with root inducing ability on the NOP National List. Presently, if IBA is used on cuttings, growers must grow plants one year under organic conditions before the crop can be certified ‘organic’. F. QUALITY CONTROL IBA is required to registered with the US EPA for use in plant growing. The US EPA registration requires that all ingredients must disclosed in the Confidential Statement of Formula if over 0.1%. ‘Manufacturing Use’ and ‘End Use’ products have certified disclosed content.

    Informational TD-I Revision 2.0 Creation Date: 7/3/2014 Revision Date: 3/4/2019 Auxins, Cytokinins and Gibberellins Isolation of the first Cytokinin Growing cells in a tissue culture medium composed in part of coconut milk led to the realization that some substance in coconut milk promotes cell division. The “milk’ of the coconut is actually a liquid endosperm containing large numbers of nuclei. It was from kernels of corn, however, that the substance was first isolated in 1964, twenty years after its presence in coconut milk was known. The substance obtained from corn is called zeatin, and it is one of many cytokinins. What is a Growth Regulator? Plant Cell Growth regulators (e.g. Auxins, Cytokinins and Gibberellins) - Plant hormones play an important role in growth and differentiation of cultured cells and tissues. There are many classes of plant growth regulators used in culture media involves namely: Auxins, Cytokinins, Gibberellins, Abscisic acid, Ethylene, 6 BAP (6 Benzyladenine), IAA (Indole Acetic Acid), IBA (Indole-3-Butyric Acid), Zeatin and trans Zeatin Riboside. The Auxins facilitate cell division and root differentiation. Auxins induce cell division, cell elongation, and formation of callus in cultures. For example, 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid is one of the most commonly added auxins in plant cell cultures. The Cytokinins induce cell division and differentiation. Cytokinins promote RNA synthesis and stimulate protein and enzyme activities in tissues. Kinetin and benzyl-aminopurine are the most frequently used cytokinins in plant cell cultures. The Gibberellins is mainly used to induce plantlet formation from adventive embryos formed in culture.

  • The Effects of Cytokinin Types and Their Concentration on in Vitro Multiplication of Sweet Cherry Cv
    The effects of cytokinin types and their concentration on in vitro multiplication of sweet cherry cv. Lapins (Prunus avium L.) Dj. V. Ružić, T. I. Vujović Fruit Research Institute, Čačak, Republic of Serbia ABSTRACT: Determination of the most optimal types and concentrations of plant growth regulators as medium constituents is one of the most important aspects of successful micropropagation, among other in vitro factors. With the aim of optimization of in vitro multiplication of sweet cherry cv. Lapins the effect of following cytokinins has been studied: benzyladenine (BA), isopentenyl adenine (2iP), kinetin (KIN) and thidiazuron (TDZ) at concentrations of 1, 2, 5, 10 and 15μM, combined with auxine, indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) at concentrations of 0, 0.5, 2.5 and 5μM. Murashige and Skoog (1962) was the basic medium used in all the combinations. The following multiplication pa- rameters were monitored: multiplication index, length of axial and lateral shoots. Fresh and dry shoot weight (callus, stem and leaves – S + L) were determined. Some specific issues, such as colour, leaf and callus size, leaf roll, incidence of chlorosis or necrosis along with occurrence of rhizogenesis, i.e. roots unusual for this phase of micropropagation, were also monitored. The highest multiplication index as well as length of axial and lateral shoots was obtained on media with BA. Very poor multiplication, with large sized shoots and big leaves, was achieved on media with 2iP, TDZ and KIN, whereas in many combinations with 2iP, and particularly in those with KIN, rhizogenesis was induced. Obtained results suggest that the choice of cytokinins for the phase of multiplication of sweet cherry is limited to BA.

    Abscisic acid Jigang Li1, Yaorong Wu2, Qi Xie2, Zhizhong Gong1 5 1China Agricultural University, Beijing, China; 2Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China Summary The classical plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) was discovered over 50 years ago. ABA accumulates rapidly in plants in response to environmental stresses, such as drought, cold, or high salinity, and plays important roles in the adaptation to and survival of these stresses. This “stress hormone” also functions in many other processes throughout the plant life cycle, acting in embryo development and seed maturation, seed dormancy and germination, seed- ling establishment, vegetative development, root growth, stomatal movement, flowering, pathogen response, and senescence. It is transported in the vascular tissues to coordinate root and shoot development and function. Receptors for ABA have been identified as a family of soluble proteins, which upon binding ABA form coreceptor complexes with phosphoprotein phosphatase 2C (PP2C) phosphoprotein phosphatases. The resulting inhibition of activity of PP2C enzymes leads to changes in phosphorylation of protein kinases and transcription fac- tors, to mediate the multiple effects of ABA. The elucidation of ABA perception mechanisms and the core components of the signal transduction mechanisms from ABA perception to downstream gene expression has expanded our understanding of the functions of ABA. This chapter summarizes our current understanding of the key components of ABA metabolism, transport, physiological functions, signal transduction, gene expression, and proteolysis. 5.1 Discovery and functions of abscisic acid Abscisic acid (ABA), a classic plant hormone, was isolated multiple times in differ- ent studies. Researchers in the early 1950s isolated acidic compounds, referred to as β-inhibitors, from plants; they separated these compounds by paper chromatography and showed that β-inhibitors inhibit coleoptile elongation in oat.

Discovery of ABA: In 1963, a substance strongly antagonistic to growth was isolated by F. T. Add icott from young cotton fruits and named Abscisin II. Later on, this name was changed to Abscisic acid (ABA). The chemical name of abscisic acid whose structure is given in fig. 1. Is [3-methyl 5-1′ (1′- hydrox y, 4′-oxy-2′, 6′, 6′-trimethyl-2- cyclohexane-l-yl)-cis, trans-2,4- penta-dienoic acid]. Eagles and Wareing (1963, 64), at the same time pointed out the presence of a substance in birch leaves (Betula pubescens, a decidu ous plant) which inhibited growth and induced dormancy of buds and, therefore, named it ‘dormin’. But, very soon as a result of the work of Cornfort h et. al. (1965), it BOTANY: SEM – V, PAPE R-C12T: PLANT PHYSIOLOGY, UNIT -5: PLANT GROWTH REGULATORS – ABSCISIC ACID was found to be identical with absc isic acid. 2. Chemical Nature of ABA: Abscisic acid is a 15-C sesquiterpene compound (molecular formula C15H20O4) composed of three isoprene residues and having a cyclohexane ring with keto and one hydroxyl group and a side chain with a terminal car boxylic group in its structure. ABA resembles terminal portion of some carotenoids such as violaxanthin and neoxanthin (see Fig.

    Plant Growth Regulator ANALYSIS (0.150% KINETIN, 0.075% IBA, 0.050% GIBBERELLIC ACID) WHAT IS IT? • Elite is a CFIA registered plant growth regulator (Fert. Act # 2016005A) • It contains auxins (Indole-3-Butyric Acid, IBA), cytokinins (6-Furfurylaminopurine, Kinetin) and gibberellins (Gibberellic acid, GA). • The product is available in 2 x 6L cases. WHEN & WHY USE IT? • Elite is recommended on a variety of field crops, vegetables and fruit trees. • Elite is for use with in-furrow applied starter fertilizer, through drip irrigation or as a foliar. • The product contains auxin, which is known to activate cell elongation by increasing the level of elasticity of the cell walls. • Auxins stimulate ethylene production and inhibit the growth of buds. • They also promote adventitious and lateral root growth and development. • Elite also contains kinetin, which is the only Canadian registered cytokinin that can be used on a variety of crop species. • Kinetin increases the rate of cell division, differentiation and growth. • It delays senescence in plant tissues, increases flower set, fruit formation and side branching. • The GA contained in Elite enables seed to overcome dormancy and promote the activity of the alpha-amylase, sprouting and emergence. Application Guidelines • GA affects cell elongation and can increase seed and fruit set when applied appropriately. • Rate varies from 62ml/ac to 162 ml/ac • The combination of these three families of plant growth regulators, at the right depending on application method dosage, under stress condition, can lead to a substantial enhancement of growth and stage of the crop. and development, seed and fruit set and ultimately yield.

  • The Properties and Interaction of Auxins and Cytokinins Influence Rooting of Shoot Cultures of Eucalyptus

Paula Watt1 and David Mycock2 1School of Life Sciences, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, South Africa. 2School of Animal, Plant and Environmental Sciences, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa. Accepted 16 October, 2012 Success in Eucalyptus micropropagation varies with genotype. Although some protocols have proven suitable for suites of clones, many genotypes are recalcitrant to rooting. Their micropropagation is addressed empirically through the manipulation of auxins and cytokinins, which work antagonistically to produce roots and shoots, respectively. Rooting success of three genotypes with 0.1 mg/l indole-3- butyric acid (IBA) was initially recorded as 87, 45 and 41% for clones 1, 2 and 3, respectively. Further studies using the auxin signal transduction inhibitor ρ-chlorophenoxyisobutyric acid (PCIB) or the auxin conjugation inhibitor dihydroxyacetophenone (DHAP) indicated that the poor rooting response of clone 2 was not due to deficient auxin signal perception or auxin conjugation. Omitting kinetin during elongation, followed by auxin-free rooting, significantly increased root production in clone 2 (from 45 to 80.3%), but had no effect on clone 1. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis of auxins and kinetin of shoots, prior to rooting, revealed a strong relationship (R2 = 0.943) between rootability and the shoot kinetin:auxin. Replacing kinetin with the less stable trans-zeatin significantly increased rooting of clone 2 (from 19 to 45%) and clone 3 (31 to 52%).
