INTRODU CTION

Tulip bulbs \\ith t.en ninal buds containing a complete flower require a period of 12- 14 weeks of low tempera LU re treatment for shoot e longation (De Herlogh, I ~J74). It is well kHOW II tha t elongation of the s tem and leaves of t ulips is due a lmost ent iTely t o the elongation of ceUs produced during ear lier developmental stages of flower bud formation (Gilford and Recs, 1973). The leaves and gynoecium provide auxins which control the elongation growth of the st ern (Op den Kelder et aI., 1971; Hanks and Rees, 1977 ; Saniewski and De MWlk, 198 1; Banasik and Sanicv./ski, 1985) . Saniewski and De Munk (1981) and Banasik an d Salliewski (HJS5) showed that elongation of all internodes in precooled tulip bulbs is promoted by application of auxins in the p lace of removed flower buds in the ahsence of leaves. Recently , it has been suggested that the elongation of all the inte rnodes in t ulips is con t rolled by the inte ract.ion of endogenous a uxins and gibberellins (Okubo a nd lJemoto , 1985, 1986; Okubo et at., 1986; Saniewski , 1989) . Okubo and lJemoto ( 1985) showed that 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid ermA) treatmen t at the first internode of sprouting tulip shoot inhibited the dark- induced elongation of thc first internode but did not affect the gibberellin amount. Recently, Saniewski and Okubo (1997) found that IAA applied in the place of removed flower bud and after excision of leaves promoted stalk e longation in the nonpl'eeo?led and precooled , rooted and derooled

tulip bulbs, and TlBA applied in the middle of the 4th internode (below L".A application) great.ly inhibited the growth of lower internodes. TIBA also inhibited tulip stem grovvth induced by IAA and NA.A.. in precooled rooted tulip bulbs after removal of flower bud and all leaves (Sanicwski and Okubo, 1998).

The phytotropin naphthylphthalamic acid (NPA) is known to inhibit polar auxin transport in dicotyledons and monocotyledons by inhihiting active auxin secretion (Depta et al., 1983), NPA inhibits auxin transport by specifically binding to the auxin efflux carrier (Katekar and Giessler, 1980). The endogenous auxin lAA does not compete vvith NPA for binding site (Lomax et al., 1995) and NPA-binding site is important for auxin transport (Ruegger fit al., 1997).

In this report the effect of NPA on tulip stem grmvt1l induced by auxins, IAA and NAA .. , in precooled rooted tulip bulbs is presented.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

Plant materials, temperature treatment and culture conditions Bulbs of tulip (Tulipa gesn.eriana 1.) cv. Gudoshnik, with circumference of

10-11 em, were used throughout the experiments. The bulbs, after lifting, \verc stored at 18-20 'C until 15 October, and then kept at 4°C for dry cooling. After cooling period, a minimum 12 weeks, the bulbs were planted individually in plastic pots and groV·,rIl in a greenhouse at 17 -20'C in natural light conditions.

Effects of NPA applied on the middle of the 4th internode on stem growth induced by IAA 0.1%

All leaves and flmver bud were removed when the lengt.h of the stem \-vas about 8 em and plain lanolin (control) or lanolin containing IAA at a concentration of 0.1 % was applied on the cut surface of the flower bud on 11 February. Then, 0.2% NPA in lanolin past.e \vas applied on the middle of the 4th internode and in other treatments additionally IA .... L\ 0.1 % was applied on the midcUe of the ;Jrd internode directly after NPA treatment or one day later after NPA application. Seven plants were used for each treatment. The grmvth of all internodes \vas measured every two days but that of 22 February is only presented.

Effects of NPA application on different internodes on stem growth induced by IAA at a concentration of 0.1 or 2.0%

IA.A at a coneentrat.ioll of 0.1 or 2.0% \vas applied on the top of the last internode after decapitation of flower bud and leaf excision as described above and then 0.2% NPA was applied in the middle of different internodes on 31 Januar~y. The stem length at. treatment was about 7 em. Sevcn plants were uscd per treatment. Measurement.s of different. internode grmvth were made every t\VO days but those of on 15 February arc presented.

Effects of NPA on the growth of stem of intact plants, growth induced by flower bud after excision of all leaves and growth induced by IAA

When the lengt.h of the stem was about 5 em 0.2% NPA was applied on the middle of

RESULTS AND DiSCUSSION

Effects of NPA applied on the middle of the 4th internode on stem growth induced by IAA 0.1 %

IAA 0.1% applied in the place of removed flower bud of sprouted precooled tulip bulbs and after excision of all leaves induced grm'vth of all internodes (Table 1, Fig. 1). The results fully confinued previous studies (Saruewski and Dc Munk, 1981: Banasik and Saniewski, 1985; Saniewski, 1989), NPA 0.2% applied on the middle of the 4th internode inhibited t.he grmvth of all internodes induced by lAA 0.1% applied on the t.op of the last internode after decapitation of flower bud and removal of all leaves. The inhibitory efrect of NPA on tulip stem growth induced by IAA. was restored by additional application of IAA .. on t.he middle of the 3rd internode (helmv NPA) when applied directly or one day later after NPA treatment. It was found recently that iIl.hibitory effect of TIBA on tulip st.em growth induced by lAA was greatly restored by applicat.ion of IA6.. below TIBA treatment pla~e (Saniewski and Okubo, 1998). The grovv1:h of maize colcoptiles and pea internodes was greatl~yr suppressed when the organ was ringed "vith NPA and the grolNih suppressed by NPA was restored by IAA applied directly to the zone bclo\li,T NPA treatment (Morit.oshi Hno, personal communication).

Effects of NP A on the growth of stem of intact plants, growth induced by flower bud after excision of all leaves and growth induced by IAA

Tulip stem grmvth induced by flmver bud after excision of all leaves was also inhibited by NPA belovv its application (Table 3, Fig. 3). NPA applied helow the 1st node of intact plants only inhihited the growth of the 1 st interILode.

It is ,.,,'ell known that high concentration of IAA or NAA stimulates ethylene production in tulip stern and promoted internode elongation less and thickening more than 1m\' concentrations of these auxins do (Sanle\vski et aL, 1990). Silver thiosulphatc (8TS), an inhibitor of ethylene action, applied simultaneously \,>,ltlt high concentration of IAA or NAA greatly stimulated the stern gnHvth of tulip in comparison \vith r,he application of these auxins alone in the same concentrations (Saniewski et aL, 1990). Ethcphon greatly inhibited tulip stem grO\vth induced by flower bud or by IAA after removal of flower bud and all leaves and STS completely reversed the inhibitory~ effect of ethylene on stem elongation (Saniewski and Kavva, 1988). It. is possible that ethylene induced by high concentration of auxin itself inhibits polar transport of auxins via feedoack cOlltrol. 111 pea ;:;eedlillg.s v ..

NPA binding sites were found to be reduced in number by the gas (Kang, 1987; Suttle, 1988).

The inhibitory action of NPA on tulip stem growth induced by auxin and the fact that lAA applied below t.he place of NPA treatment restored t.he grmvth indicate on the crucial role of auxin in tulip stem growth.
