| Abstract | The cucumber cotyledon expansion test was used as a model system to study a possible relationship between cytokinin and polyamines. When kinetin was applied to excised cotyledons incubated in the dark it caused a marked increase in the activity of arginine decarboxylase. As a result of ADC action, putrescine content also rose markedly, whereas the level of spermidine and spermine decreased. However, inhibition of putrescine biosynthesis with D-arginine did not affect cytokinin promotion growth. Applied alone, putrescine had no significant effect on growth. These results indicate that the large increase in putrescine content that derives from cytokinin treatment cotyledons is not essential for cytokinin-induced expansion of cotyledons. Addition of K$^{+}$ and Ca$^{2+}$ ions to the cotyledons incubated with cytokinin caused a marked reduction in the putrescine level and ADC activity.The higher level of putrescine (35 %) and spermine (62 %) bound to chromatin and the large increase (174 %) in spermidine content bound to ribosomes which derive from cytokinintreated cotyledons in relation to literature data can indicate that these polyamines may play an important role in gene expression during cytokinin-stimulated expansion of cucumber cotyledons.The inhibition of cytokinin effect, viz. enlargement of the cotyledons by inhibitors of spermidine biosynthesis, additionally suggessted a possible involvement of polyamines in cytokinin action. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
