Enhanced seedling growth by 3-n-pentadecylphenolethanolamide is mediated by fatty acid amide hydrolases in upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.).

ABSTRACT: Fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) is a conserved amidase that is known to modulate the levels of endogenous N-acylethanolamines (NAEs) in both plants and animals. The activity of FAAH is enhanced in vitro by synthetic phenoxyacylethanolamides resulting in greater hydrolysis of NAEs. Previously, 3-n-pentadecylphenolethanolamide (PDP-EA) was shown to exert positive effects on the development of Arabidopsis seedlings by enhancing Arabidopsis FAAH (AtFAAH) activity. However, there is little information regarding FAAH activity and the impact of PDP-EA in the development of seedlings of other plant species. Here, we examined the effects of PDP-EA on growth of upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L. cv Coker 312) seedlings including two lines of transgenic seedlings overe
