The effect of the phytohormones D-naphthylacetic acid and gibberellic acid on the protein content; glucansynthetase, peroxidase, and cellulase enzyme activity; and development of gymnosperm and fuzzy cotton ovules was studied. The effect on cellulose synthesis of an inhibitor protein isolated from integument of gymnosperm cotton treated with gibberellic acid was investigated.Phytohormones have developed through evolution and are a genetically stable system of compounds that regulate the activity of the genetic apparatus during growth processes and senescence and protect the whole plant or its separate organs from the effects of extreme environmental factors and microflora [1]. The phytohormonal system is a product of the genotype and has a large inductor or repressor influence on the activity of certain genes or their blocks. All this eventually affects the quantity and quality of the harvest.The most important plant hormones are auxins and gibberellins. Only a few reports on the hormonal regulation of cotton cellulose synthesis have appeared. These mainly analyze the levels of endogenous hormones in cells of cotton seed fibers and not features of the exogenous action of phytohormones [2]. The phytohormones D-naphthylacetic acid (D-NAA) and gibberellic acid (GA) have great significance for increasing cellulose fiber formation [3].We investigated the action of phytohormones D-NAA and GA on protein content, ovule development, and glucansynthetase (GS), peroxidase (PO), and cellulase (C) enzyme activity in 20-day integument of gymnosperm (line L-70) and fuzzy (variety AN-Bayaut-2) cotton.According to the results, phytohormone D-NAA had no effect on the total protein content in AN-Bayaut-2 whereas it increased it in line L-70 by 13% (Table 1). GA increased the amount of protein by 35% in AN-Bayaut-2 and by 6% in line L-70. It has been hypothesized that D-NAA and GA activate repressor genes by interacting with low-molecular-weight repressor proteins, thereby inducing the synthesis of RNA molecules. This in turn leads to the synthesis of new types of enzymes or enhances the synthesis of already existing enzymes [1].An electrophoretic study of total proteins from integuments of control plants and those treated with gibberellin and D-NAA showed that distinctive proteins with various molecular weights were present in addition to a large number of minor protein components (Fig. 1). The color intensity of proteins from samples treated with GA increased in fuzzy variety AN-Bayaut-2.This indicated that the protein concentration increased in all ovule samples. The increased protein concentration caused by gibberellin may have been due to functional specifics of this phytohormone.It has been reported [4] that the growth period increased upon treatment of plants with GA before flowering. In other words, it slowed the flowering process itself. However, treatment of the plant with this same phytohormone during flowering accelerated the fruit ripening process, because of which it can be concluded that the biosynthesis of proteins w...
