Polyamines in herbaceous and woody plants.

Abstract:

Polyamines have significant roles in several cellular processes, such as embryogenesis, cell division, vascular differentiation, flowering, rhizogenesis induction, stress, and modulation of senescence. These compounds also have effects on the resistance to virus and fungi in certain plants. Recent developments in the metabolism and function of polyamines in plants are reviewed, emphasizing the importance of polyamines in different processes of plant development. Direct and indirect approaches have demonstrated that polyamines are involved in cell division and in other events connected with growth and morphogenesis in plant tissue and cell cultures, and that they affect senescence and stress responses.
