Journal ArticleDOI
Phenylpropanoid Metabolism in Suspension Cultures of Vanilla planifolia Andr. II. Effects of Precursor Feeding and Metabolic Inhibitors
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors showed that the conversion of cinnamic acids into benzoic acids does not involve cinnamoyl CoA esters as intermediates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Permeabilization of cultivated plant cells by electroporation for release of intracellularly stored secondary products
TL;DR: The number of electrical pulses and capacitance used had a relatively limited effect on product release while the viability of the cells was strongly influenced by the latter.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phenylpropanoid Metabolism in Suspension Cultures of Vanilla planifolia Andr. : III. Conversion of 4-Methoxycinnamic Acids into 4-Hydroxybenzoic Acids
TL;DR: It is concluded that the side chain degrading enzyme system accepts the 4-methoxylated substrates while the demethylation occurs at the benzoic acid level, and 4-Methoxy substituted cinnamic acids are better substrates for this enzyme than 4-hydroxy substitutedcinnamic acid.
Journal ArticleDOI
Elicitor-induced tyrosine decarboxylase in berberine-synthesizing suspension cultures of Thalictrum rugosum.
TL;DR: It is suggested that tyrosine decarboxylase may be a key enzyme between primary and secondary metabolisms in the biosynthesis of norlaudanosoline-derived alkaloids.
Phenylpropanoid Metabolism in Suspension Cultures of
TL;DR: Kinetin but not chitosan induces catechol4-0-methyltransferase activity, catalyzing the formation of 4methoxycinnamic acids, which were shown to be intermediates of hydroxybenzoic acid biosynthesis within cells of V. planifolia, suggesting that this methyltransferase is directly involved in the biosynthesis of vanillic acid.
