Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, phenolic acids and ethylene in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) cell cultures in relation to their embryogenic ability.

Abstract：

:Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) activity, contents of phenolic acids and ethylene production during the lag-phase, and contents of phenolic acids at the late exponential phase, showed significant differences in embryogenic (EC) and non-embryogenic (NEC) suspension cultures of Medicago sativa L. Maximum PAL activity at 6 h after inoculation was followed by an increase in the level of phenolic acids from 9.6 μg g(-1) fresh mass to 21 μg g(-1) fresh mass in NEC at 12 h. Thereafter the level of phenolic acids decreased to 5.2 μg g(-1) fresh mass at 72 h. The decline was caused predominantly by the decrease of ester-bound cinnamic acid derivatives, the decrease ranging from 83 to 20% of total phenolics. Two maxima of ethylene production were observed in NEC: the first one immediately after inoculation and the second at 6 h, coinciding with the peak of PAL activity. In NEC, most of the phenolic acids occurred in esterified form. Ability to form somatic embryos (EC) was associated with the absence of the second peak of ethylene production as well as of the peak of PAL activity at 6 h. The level of phenolic acids during the lag-phase remained low (7.2 μg g(-1) FM) and did not change. The proportion of cinnamic acid derivatives was very low (18% of total phenolics), mostly due to the extremely low level of ferulic acid. In EC, phenolic acids bound to methanol insoluble material formed the major fraction. Loss of embryogenic potential of the embryogenic culture (ECL) was associated with qualitative and quantitative changes in the contents of phenolic acids insignificantly increased PAL activity after inoculation was followed by a moderate increase in the contents of phenolic acids from 9.35 μg g(-1) fresh mass to 12.42 μg g fresh mass. A high rate of ethylene production was observed only immediately after the transfer of the culture to fresh medium. The loss of embryogenicity correlated also with changes in the relative amounts of the investigated fractions of phenolic acids. A distinct increase in the level of methoxy-substituted phenolic acids is a characteristic feature of the ECL culture.
