چکیده
Catharanthus roseus (= Vinca rosea), Adenine Phosphori bosyltransferase, Subcellular D istribution, Mitochondria, Purine Salvage Subcellular localization of adenine phosphoribosyltrans ferase was examined in Catharanthus roseus cells. At least 13% of the activity was observed in the particulate fraction with the rest observed in the cytosol. Both differential and Percoll density gradient centrifugation indicated that particulate adenine phosphoribosyltransferase was pre dominantly located in the mitochondria.

Catharanthus roseus is a medicinal and ornamental plant with growing attention toward its economical value. Cell suspension from C. roseus were treated with 0 to 60mM of cadmium nitrate for 1, 3 and 6 days, then cell viability was determined using trypan blue and MTT assay. Cell morphology was investigated using 0, 10, 30 and 50 mM of cadmium nitrate as selected dose for 3 days. Callus of C.ros...
