Abstract
The effect of the inhibitor of endogenous ABA synthesis fluridone on the content and distribution of endogenous ABA and IAA in the calli of ABA-deficient mutant AZ34 barley and its parental cultivar Steptoe was studied using the methods of immuno-enzymatic solid-phase assay and immunolocalization of phytohormones. It was found that by the 4th week of in vitro culture, fluridone causes a significant decrease in the ABA level in calli of both genotypes compared to the control, and the inhibitory effect of fluridone in AZ34 is more pronounced than in Steptoe. In the calli of both genotypes, a significant increase in the IAA content was revealed against the background of a decrease in the ABA content upon treatment with fluridone as compared to the control. It was concluded that ABA plays an important role in the process of embryoido-genesis in vitro.
