Regulation of the shikimate pathway of carrot cells in suspension culture.

Glyphosate Induces 3-Deoxy-d-arabino-Heptulosonate 7-Phosphate Synthase in Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) Cells Grown in Suspension Culture.

The activity of the first enzyme of the shikimate pathway, 3-deoxy-d-arabino-heptulosonate 7-phosphate synthase, varies during the growth cycle of Solanum tuberosum L. cv superior cells in suspension culture. Maximum specific enzyme activity was observed midway through the linear phase of growth. When mid-log phase cells are exposed to glyphosate, the specific activity of the enzyme increases s...

Effects of Peptone Supplementation in Different Culture Media on Growth, Metabolic Pathway and Productivity of CHO DG44 Cells a New Insight into Amino Acid Profiles

Background: The optimization of bioprocess conditions towards improved growth profile and productivity yield is considered of great importance in biopharmaceutical manufacturing. Peptones as efficient sources of nutrients have been studied for their effect on media development however, their role on metabolic pathway is not well understood. Methods: In the present study, the effect of different...

Stereo-Specific Transcript Regulation of the Polyamine Biosynthesis Genes by Enantiomers of Ornithine in Tobacco Cell Culture

Background: Ornithine (Orn) plays an essential role in the metabolism of plant cells through incorporation in polyamines biosynthesis, the urea cycle and nitrogen metabolism. Physiological response of the plant cells to its two enantiomers have not been widely investigated yet.Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate effect of ornithine enantiomers on exp...

Identification of a transitional cell state in the developmental pathway to carrot somatic embryogenesis

We have located a novel carbohydrate epitope in the cell walls of certain single cells in embryogenic, but not in non-embryogenic, suspension cultures of carrot. Expression of this epitope, recognized by the mAb JIM8, is regulated during initiation, proliferation, and prolonged growth of suspension cultures such that changes in the abundance of JIM8-reactive cells always precede equivalent chan...
