Changes in conductivity and pH during the growth cycle of cell suspensions derived from parsley (Petroselinum hortense) and soybean (Glycine max) have been investigated. Measurement of the conductivity of the medium represents a simple, rapid, and reliable method for the precise determination of the

β¦ Synopsis
A method is described for preparing fully viable, cytokinin-starved soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr. cv. Acme) cells from a suspension-culture of callus tissue. The cells respond to kinetin treatment by re-initiating cell division. We present evidence, from the pattern of incorporation of (32)P-labelled inorganic phosphate into individual phospholipids during the first hour of this response, that the synthesis of phosphatidylinositol (PI) and of phosphatidic-acid head-groups is affected within 15 min. The polyphosphoinositide phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate, but not phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate, was detected in the tissue. The characteristics of cytokinin-induced PI synthesis in cytokinin-starved soybean cells appear to resemble the 'PI response' of animal cells.
