CAR and C1, two carrot (Daucus carota L.) suspension cultures of different genotypes, were subjected to stepwise selection for tolerance to the herbicide glyphosate [(N-phosphonomethyl)glycine]. The specific activity of the target enzyme, 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS), as well

We have shown previously that a nuclear phosphatidylinositol (PI) 4-kinase activity was present in intact nuclei isolated from carrot suspension culture cells (Daucus carota L.). Here, we further characterized the enzyme activity of the nuclear enzyme. We found that the pH optimum of the nuclear-ass
An upward shift in the concentration of calcium present in the medium during somatic embryogenesis increased the number of embryos produced approximately two-fold. This was observed when embryogenic suspension cells grown in 2,4-D medium with the normal calcium concentration of 10(-3) M were transfe
