A range of endogenous cytokinins have been identified inDatura crown-gall tissue by GC-MS. Incorporation of [3H]adenine into zeatin riboside, zeatin and its nucleotide(s) is also shown. Metabolism studies usingcis- andtrans-isomers of zeatin riboside indicate that interconversion of the two isomers does not occur in this tissue. Data on the identity of major endogenous cytokinins in a genetic tumour line of tobacco is also provided.
