Berberine production in cell suspension cultures of Thalictrum minus L. var. hypoleucum Miq. was significantly enhanced by administration of spermidine, whereas other polyamines such as cadaverine, putrescine and spermine were ineffective. The results of experiments indicated that spermidine causes

Endogenous polysaccharides capable of inducing shikonin biosynthesis in a growth medium were isolated from shikonin-producing Lithospermum cells cultured in a production medium. Chemical analysis showed that these active polysaccharides consist of galacturonic acid, galactose, arabinose and glucose.
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-label
