Abstract

The presence of serotonin has been detected in metha- nolic extracts of the mature embryo of Juglans sieboldiana Maxim. The amine from the extract was separated on the Amberlite CG—50 ion exchanger and detected by chromatographic, spectrophotometric and spectrofluorimetric methods. By these methods serotonin was detected in a quantity of 20 µg x g-1 fresh weight.
The localization of serotonin was detected in the embryo by a histochemical reaction with p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde in HCl, or with ninhydrin in acetic acid.
