TL;DR: The potential value of evolving "profiling" or "omics" technologies as non-targeted, unbiased approaches, to detect unintended effects in GM crops and products are focused on.

TL;DR: The adaptation of this technique to plant cells grown in liquid medium is described with emphasis on the removal of Mn(2+) and phosphate from the extracellular medium and on providing the O(2) supply of the cells in the nuclear magnetic resonance tube and the various problems of calibration.

TL;DR: Using suspension-cultured Acer pseudoplatanus cells requiring 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid for growth, the dependence of the population doubling time and the maximum increase in cell population density on the auxin concentration was studied.

TL;DR: It is suggested that a threshold concentration of auxin is needed for cell division to proceed, and this result and the previous demonstration that, at the onset of the stationary phase, 2,4-D is the specific limiting factor of cell division are suggested.

TL;DR: This chapter discusses culture techniques adopted in the case of sycamore cell (Acer pseudoplatanus L.) suspensions, a suspension culture of higher plant cells that consists of cells and cell clumps dispersed and growing in the agitated liquid medium.
