| Abstract | The profile of free and conjugated polyamines putrescine, spermidine, and spermine was studied at the onset of sprouting and during various stages of vegetative growth in saffron (Crocus sativus L.) corms. Polyamines were extracted from the shoot meristems and estimated by high performance liquid chromatography. Free putrescine was not detected at the onset of sprouting, whereas free spermidine and spermine levels increased rapidly on sprouting and decreased during further stages of corm development. The levels of conjugated polyamines were several times higher than the free forms indicating their possible role in the developmental processes. A comparison of polyamine levels of vegetative and floral corms showed higher titers of free polyamines in vegetative and conjugated polyamines in floral corms. |
