Suspension cultures of rice (Oryza sativa L.), initiated from seed, produced significant amounts of starch. Starch accumulated in the cultured cells throughout the growth phase and reached a maximum of 7% of the cell dry weight at stationary phase. Starch was present in compound granules which were

โฆ Synopsis
Studies on the growth and respiration of batch suspension cultures of rice (Oryza sativa L.) in a reference medium containing Murashige-Skoog salts, 2% (w/v) sucrose and yeast extract are reported. It was found that the yeast extract contributed 70% of the phosphate in this medium, and that the cells grew equally well in continued subculture in a defined medium which contained 6 mM phosphate and 3% (w/v) sucrose and the remaining Murashige-Skoog salts. Cell clumps (up to 1.5 mm diameter) were prevalent in the initial cultures in the reference medium. In such cultures the critical 02 pressure of cell respiration was high (~ 125/~M), and ethanol accumulated. When cell clumps were routinely removed during several weekly subcultures on the defined medium cultures were obtained in which no clumps were present, the critical 02 pressures was decreased to 40/~M and no ethanol accumulated.
