Cytokinin (CK) levels in cotyledons of Cucurbita pepo L. (zucchini) were investigated through the processes of post-germination, greening, natural senescence and subsequent rejuvenation. The concentrations of the physiologically active CK bases, ribosides and nucleotides, as well as the cis-isomers of zeatin derivatives, decreased between the first and fifth weeks of cultivation under controlled light conditions. At the same time, the levels of storage CK O-glucosides and physiologically inactive CK 7- and 9-glucosides increased with senescence. With plant decapitation and subsequent cotyledon rejuvenation, not only the chlorophyll content but also the levels of physiologically active CKs, nucleotides and cis-zeatin derivatives increased. The levels of O-glucosides, however, decreased. When 1-week-old seedlings were transferred to the dark, there was a progressive reduction in cotyledon chlorophyll content, deterioration of chloroplast ultrastructure and a decrease in physiologically active CKs and their nucleotides. In contrast with natural senescence, the storage CK O-glucosides decreased under dark conditions, suggesting different metabolic regulation of endogenous CK levels during natural and dark-induced senescence of zucchini cotyledons. The chlorophyll loss of dark-treated cotyledons could be partially reversed, even after 5 days, with return to light conditions. During this recovery, physiologically active CKs and their nucleotides again increased, whereas the storage CK O-glucosides and cis-zeatins decreased. The present results suggest that dark-induced destruction and subsequent restoration of chloroplasts during light shifts are controlled by changes in the levels of physiologically active CKs and their nucleotides.
