Mode of action of β-quercinin, a novel elicitin on tobacco cell suspension cultures (cvs. Bel B and Bel W3) was investigated by measuring the oxidative burst and cell death in these cell cultures. β-quercinin induced an oxidative burst comparable to that excited by zoospores from P. quercina. Adding superoxidedismutase, catalase and diphenyleneiodonium to elicited cell cultures, it could be demonstrated, that the induction of cell death in tobacco cell cultures is not correlated to the oxidative burst.

Treatment of parsley cell cultures with a fungal elicitor triggered the induction of a lipoxygenase isoform which may be involved in the de novo synthesis of defence-response inducers, such as jasmonic acid or 12-oxo-phytodienoic acid.

Abstract Activities of the glycolytic enzymes were determined in seedlings, callus cultures and cell sus­ pension cultures of spruce (Picea abies) (L.) (Karst). The rate-limiting enzymes of the pathway were the hexokinases, ATP: phosphofructo-kinase, fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase and pyruvate kinase. Two phosphofructokinases were found: ATP : fructose-6-phosphate 1-phosphotransferase (PFK) and pyrophosphate :fructose-6-phosphate 1-phosphotransferase (PFP). In the presence of its activator fructose-2,6-bisphos-phate, PFP had a 4 -5-fold higher specific activity than PFK. PFP could be activated about 20-fold by fructose-2,6-bisphosphate at saturating concentrations of the substrates (fructose-6-phosphate and pyrophosphate). The increase of Vmax was accompanied by a strong increase in the apparent affinity of the enzyme for the substrates. Km for fructose-6-phosphate and pyrophosphate was 0.44 mM and 24 μM, respectively. Ka for fructose-2,6-bisphosphate was 24 nM. In seedlings, specific activity of the glycolytic enzymes was 30-300 percent higher in the hypocotyls, except for fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and phosphoglycerate kinase, their activity being 100-150percent higher in the cotyledons, This distribution remained unchanged during periods of 2 -16 weeks of cultivation of the seedlings. In callus cultures and in cell suspension cultures, grown mixotrophically with different car­ bohydrates, all enzymes were between 1-and 7-fold higher than in autotrophically grown seed­ lings. Incubation of seedlings in mineral salt mixture containing a carbohydrate resulted in a rapid coordinate increase of the activities to the levels of callus-or cell suspension cultures. This induction required a carbohydrate and oxygen. During prolonged cultivation of cell suspension cultures, when carbohydrate became limiting, activity of the enzymes slowly declined.
