Abstract

Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) was established in me- thanolic extract of the mature embryo of Juglans regia var. membranica. The biogenic amine from the extract was separated on Amberlite CG-50 ion exchanger and detected by chromatographic, spectrophotometrie and spectrofluorimetric methods. By these methods serotonin was detected in a quantity of 80 μgx g-1 fresh weight.
The localization of serotonin was detected in the embryo by a histochemical reaction with p-dimethylamino- benzaldehyde in HC1, or with ninhydrin in acetic acid.
