Chromosomal Changes

Cell suspension cultures of Triticum monococcum, Triticiam aestivum, Glycine max, Melilotus alba, and Haplopappus gracilis, were examined to determine whether chromosomal changes had occurred during culture. All cultures except H. gracilis showed change in chromosome number and the two species of Triticum showed abnormal karyotypes.

Betulin Derivatives

AbstractIn this study, three semisynthetic betulonic acid-based compounds, 20(29)-dihydrolup-2-en[2,3-d]isoxazol-28-oic acid, 1-betulonoylpyrrolidine, and lupa-2,20(29)-dieno[2,3-b]pyrazin-28-oic acid, were studied in biotransformation experiments using Nicotiana tabacum and Catharanthus roseus cell suspension cultures. Biotransformation was performed using cyclodextrin to aid dissolving poorly water-soluble substrates. Several new derivatives were found, consisting of oxidized and glycosylated (pentose- and hexose-conjugated) products.

Cicer Arietinum L

The flavonols kaempferol, quercetin and isorhamnetin were labelled with 14C by keeping seven day old Cicer arietinum L. plants in an atmosphere of 14CO2 for five days. The purified (U-14C) flavonols were applied to cell suspension cultures of Cicer arietinum L., Phaseolus aureus Roxb., Glycine max and Petroselinum hortense. Based on the rates of 14CO2 formation and distribution of radioactivity after fractionation of the cells, the flavonols were shown to be catabolized to a very high extent.All four cell suspension cultures possess the enzymatic activity transforming flavonols to the recently discovered 2,3-dihydroxyflavanones. Upon incubation of the flavonols datiscetin and kaempferol with enzyme preparations from Cicer arietinum L. cell suspension cultures, it was demonstrated that the enzymatically formed 2,3-dihydroxyflavanones are further transformed in an enzyme catalyzed reaction. Salicylic acid was found as a degradation fragment of ring B of the 2,3,5,7,2′-pentahydroxyflavanone derived from datiscetin. Neither phloroglucinol nor phloroglucinol carboxylic acid were observed as metabolites of ring A. These in vitro findings were further substantiated by in vivo data because the flavonols kaempferol, quercetin and datiscetin when applied to cell suspension cultures of Cicer arietinum L. and Glycine max gave rise to para-hydroxybenzoic acid, protocatechuic acid and salicylic acid, respectively. It was thus concluded that flavonols are catabolized via 2,3-dihydroxyflavanones with the B-ring liberated as the respective benzoic acid. The data are discussed in connection with earlier findings on the catabolism of chalcones, cinnamic and benzoic acids.

Anthocyanin Production

Earlier work with buckwheat seedlings showed that dihydrokaempferol (3,5,7,4′-tetrahydroxyflavanone) (1) is a good precursor for cyanidin and quercetin. Since cell suspension cultures have several advantages for the quantitative comparison of the incorporation of a radioactive precursor into a product, the role of 1 in the biosynthesis of cyanidin was reinvestigated with cell cultures of Haplopappus gracilis. These cultures show good production of cyanidin-glycosides in blue light in a medium containing sucrose, 2,4-D and Fe-EDTA. Maximum anthocyanin production and maximal activity of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase is reached about 60 — 70 hrs. after the onset of illumination. The incorporation of 1 and of phenylalanine and 4,2′,4′,6′-tetrahydroxychalcone into cyanidin was compared under identical conditions after 1, 3 and 6 hrs. feeding time. 1 prooved to be by far the best precursor for cyanidin. The feeding time required was much shorter and the incorporation rates were much higher than in experiments with seedlings.
