Abstract

Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) was established in acid extracts of the mature embryo of Juglans ailanthifolia var. ailanthifolia Carr. The biogenic amine from the neutralized extract was separated on the ion exchanger Amberlite CG-50 and detected by chromatographic, spectrophotometric and spectrofluorimetric methods. By These methods serotonin was detected in a quantity of 95 μg g-1 fresh weight.
Serotonin influenced rhizogenesis in Aspen leaves cultivated in vitro to the same extent as indole-3-acetic acid. The biogenic amine also ihibited tumor formation in potato tuber discs and stimulated root formation in tumors.
