Abstract
Cytokinin activities in the tobacco bioassay have been determined for four adenosine derivatives known to be components of wheat germ tRNA: 6-(4-hydroxy-3-methyl-2-butenylamino)-9-β-d-ribofuranosylpurine, 6-(3-methyl-2-butenylamino)-9-β-d-ribofuranosylpurine, 6-(4-hydroxy-3-methyl-2-butenylamino)- 2-methylthio-9-β-d-ribofuranosylpurine, and 6-(3-methyl-2-butenylamino)-2-methylthio-9-β-d-ribofuranosylpurine. Also determined and compared with the four natural components of tRNA were the activities of the four 3-methylbutylamino analogs of the naturally occurring species and the eight substituted purines corresponding to both sets of ribonucleosides. The systematic structural modifications within this group of sixteen compounds were reflected in the variations in cytokinin activity with the level of modification.
