Abstract
The responses of DNase and RNase isoforms and their specific activities following transition to flowering 1 to 6 weeks were examined in Petunia × hybrida under different light conditions Petunia × hybrida plants formed flower buds at the 4th week in the case of high light and at the 6th week in the farred light treatment while no flower bud formation was observed upon red light and control light treatments The DNase and RNase activities decreased from the 1st to the 6th week during transition to flowering NativePAGE analysis revealed the appearance of one DNase D1 and seven RNase R1 R7 isoforms in all light treatments It is assumed that the progress of the flowering could be related to the disappearance or reduction of D1 DNase band intensity and disappearance of R1 R2 and R7 RNase isoforms Consequently these isoforms could be used as potent biochemical markers of flower bud formation under light intensity as well as light quality treatments
