Gas–liquid-chromatographic determination of light-dependent acetylcholine concentrations in moss callus

PMCID: PMC1166111  PMID: 4824208

Abstract

Acetylcholine was identified and quantified by g.l.c. in moss callus. The acetylcholine concentrations in the moss callus were found to be regulated by phytochrome. The highest concentrations of acetylcholine occurred after irradiation with red light. Moss callus grown in the dark contained no acetylcholine.
