Abstract

Aleurone tissue from freshly harvested immature wheat grains (Triticum aestivum L. cv. Sappo) which is normally unresponsive to gibberellic acid can be made responsive by subjecting the tissue to a pre-incubation treatment in a simple buffered medium prior to the addition of the growth substance. The effectiveness of this treatment is dependent on grain age, with grains less than 15-20 days post anthesis failing to become converted to a responsive state whilst tissue from grains older than this become increasingly susceptible. Tissue from grains of a certain age (approx. 25-28 days post anthesis) produce small amounts of α-amylase following this treatment even in the absence of exogenously applied growth substance. Using different (32)-labelled complementary-DNA probes for α-amylase in wheat it was demonstrated that the failure of freshly harvested tissue to produce α-amylase was correlated with the absence of the appropriate mRNA species. Inability to accumulate α-amylase mRNA in response to gibberellic acid was removed by the pre-iccubation treatment and also by enforced drying. The gibberellin-regulated expression of other unidentified genes also responds to pre-incubation or drying. Induction of gibberellin-responsiveness in immature aleurone cells did not extend to the secretion of acid phosphatase, protease and ribonuclease.
