Abstract: | Two lines of the red and pale yellow cell suspension cultures, prepared fromPrunus x yedoensis Matsum. callus induced by Murashige and Skoog's (1962) basal medium supplemented with 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,
4-D, 1.0 mg/l), kinetin (0.1 mg/l) and sucrose (30 g/l), were maintained on Schenk and Hildebrandt medium as modified by Mitchell
and Gildow (1975). The red cell suspension culture produced cyanidin 3-monoglucoside, 5, 4′-dihydroxy-7-methoxyisoflavone
4′-glucoside (prunetrin), isoquercitrin, catechin, epicatechin, and procyanidin B-1, B-2, B-3 and B-4, while the pale yellow
cells produced only a small amount of catechin and epicatechin as main flavonoids. These flavonoid compounds found in the
red cell culture were present also in maturePrunus leaves.
Maximum growth and maximum amount of total phenol and proanthocyanidin (procyanidins) were obtained with 0.3 mg/l of both
2,4-D and kinetin. Maximum concentration of anthocyanin was also obtained with 0.3 mg/l 2, 4-D regardless of kinetin concentration.
Accumulation of proanthocyanidin was markedly stimulated by low concentrations of phosphate, which reduced growth by about
half, and also by high concentrations of inorganic nitrogen. Production of both anthocyanin and proanthocyanidin was reduced
by lowered nitrogen levels. Cell growth and production of all phenolics were inhibited when ammonium ion replaced nitrate
in the medium. |
