Abstract

Cell suspension cultures of parsley (Petroselinum hortense) and soybean (Glycine max) have been used for several years as model systems for enzyme regulation studies. The regulation of nitrate metabolism, of general phenylpropanoid metabolism, and of flavonoid and lignin biosynthesis have been investigated. The results obtained for these metabolic pathways in the two cultures are compared and discussed with regard to changes in various parameters related to the growth cycle of the cultures. The parameters measured include the rate of cell division, DNA, RNA, and protein concentrations, and the rates of protein synthesis and degradation.
