Biological activities of human interferon and 2'-5' oligoadenylates in plants

Exogenous human interferon 2 (IFN) and 2'-5' oligoadenylates (2-5A) have been shown to cause at least a dual physiological effect in tobacco and wheat: (i) increased cytokinin activity and (ii) induced synthesis of numerous proteins, among which members of two groups of stress proteins hav...

Zusammenfassung:Exogenous human interferon 2 (IFN) and 2'-5' oligoadenylates (2-5A) have been shown to cause at least a dual physiological effect in tobacco and wheat: (i) increased cytokinin activity and (ii) induced synthesis of numerous proteins, among which members of two groups of stress proteins have been identified, namely pathogenesis-related (PR) and beat shock (HS) proteins. These effects were observed only by low concentrations of these substances: IFN at 0.1-1 u/ml and 2-5A at 1-10 nM.
