Earlier work with buckwheat seedlings showed that dihydrokaempferol (3,5,7,4′-tetrahydroxyflavanone) (1) is a good precursor for cyanidin and quercetin. Since cell suspension cultures have several advantages for the quantitative comparison of the incorporation of a radioactive precursor into a product, the role of 1 in the biosynthesis of cyanidin was reinvestigated with cell cultures of Haplopappus gracilis. These cultures show good production of cyanidin-glycosides in blue light in a medium containing sucrose, 2,4-D and Fe-EDTA. Maximum anthocyanin production and maximal activity of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase is reached about 60 — 70 hrs. after the onset of illumination. The incorporation of 1 and of phenylalanine and 4,2′,4′,6′-tetrahydroxychalcone into cyanidin was compared under identical conditions after 1, 3 and 6 hrs. feeding time. 1 prooved to be by far the best precursor for cyanidin. The feeding time required was much shorter and the incorporation rates were much higher than in experiments with seedlings.

The primary reactions leading to Al toxicity in plant cells have not yet been elucidated. We used soybean ( Glycine max [L.] Merr.) cell suspension cultures to address the question whether lipid peroxidation plays an important role in Al toxicity. Upon transfer to an Alcontaining culture medium with a calculated Al3+ activity of 15 μᴍ soybean cells showed a distinct and longtime increase in lipid peroxidation within 4h. At the same time a drastic loss of cell viability was observed. Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and N,N′-diphenyl-pphenylenediamine (DPPD), two lipophilic antioxidants, were able to almost completely suppress lipid peroxidation in Al-treated cells at a concentration of 20 μᴍ. This effect was dosedependent for DPPD and was observed at minimum concentrations of 1 -2 μᴍ. When lipid peroxidation was suppressed by DPPD or BHA cell viability remained high even in the presence of toxic Al concentrations. These results suggest that Al-induced enhancement of lipid peroxidation is a decisive factor for Al toxicity in suspension cultured soybean cells.
