Abstract: | Ubiquinone (UQ) formation in BY-2 tobacco cells was especially promoted by a high concentration of 2,4-D. 2,4,5-T, MCP and NAA also promoted UQ formation in these cells. The UQ content in the cells cultured at high concentrations of 2,4-D was higher than that of controls throughout the culture period. The addition of 2,4-D at an early period in cell growth was very effective in promoting UQ formation, but addition at the stationary phase was ineffective. Cell growth was improved by adding phosphate to the medium but UQ content was decreased. UQ content decreased slowly during subculturing, whereas cell growth recovered gradually. |
