3.2.2. Total proteins content Content of protein per plant was enhanced due to the hormonal treatments as control plants exhibited a mean of only 5 ppm whereas the hormone treated plants had 7 amounting to 45% greater than the untreated plants (Table 2). Cytokines have been reported to delay senescence by retarding the rate of breakdown of proteins rather than enhancing the rate of protein synthesis [Sache, 1973]. These study treatment BA with dose 200 mg/l increased total protein in the leaf and petal relative to other content protein treatments (Fig 2.g.). Also all treatment with BA 10 day after harvests the petal highest than leaves. This could be cause translocation the protein towards the flower. Reported that kinetin prevented accelerated protein loss than was typical to detached leaves salunket al [1992] explained than the primary step in degradation of the soluble type ribonucleic acid is thought to involve the loss of the end adenine. A treatment with BA may provide the necessary adenine and restore the soluble ribonucleic acid molecule. Fosket [1997] showed that cytokines promoted cell division by increasing the transition of the cells from G2 mitosis, thus increasing the rate of protein synthesis.
