Abstract: | Cell suspension cultures were established from germinating pea (Pisum sativum L.) seeds. This cell culture, which accumulated pisatin, consisted mostly of single cells containing a few cell aggregates. The cells responded to treatment with a yeast glucan preparation with transient accumulation of pisatin in both cells and culture media. Addition of pisatin to cell cultures resulted in increased synthesis of pisatin. Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, chalcone synthase and isoflavone reductase activities were present in untreated cells. Upon treatment with an elicitor preparation the activities of the first two enzymes showed a rapid, transient increase up to 20 hours after treatment. Isoflavone reductase showed a major and minor peak at 16 and 36 h, respectively, after elicitor treatment. The time course of the enzyme activity and pisatin accumulation is consistent with an elicitor-mediated response.Abbreviations CHS chalcone synthase - 2,4-D 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - IBA indole-3-butyric acid - IFR isoflavone reductase - 2iP 6-(dimethylallylamino)-purine - MS Murashige & Skoog basal salt medium - PAL phenylalanine ammonia-lyase - PMSF phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride - POPOP 1,4-bis-2-(4-methyl-5-phenyloxazolyl)-benzene - PPO 2,5-diphenyloxazole |
