| Abstract: | The biosynthesis of sterols from mevalonate by a cell free extract prepared from actively growing tuber portions and leader shoots with young leaves of Dioscorea floribunda has been demonstrated. The preparation was capable of synthesizing 86.4 μg and 34.0 1£g of sterols from leader shoots with young leaves and actively growing tuber portions respectively. The cofactor requirement for the above system was also studied. |
