Abstract: | The rate of incorporation of [14C]mevalonate into carotenoid and steroid fractions in suspension-cultured carrot cells decreased markedly after 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid was removed from the medium. In parallel to this change, the activity of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase in a microsomal fraction was reduced to ca 33% of the control value, while that of a particulate fraction showed no significant change. The activities of mevalonate activating enzymes remained unchanged after auxin deprivation. |
