Excised leaves and cell suspension cultures of soybean (Glycine max L.) were incubated with [UL-14C]-3,4-dichloroaniline. The compound was almost completely metabolized after 48 h in both systems; it was apparent that the major detoxification pathways present in the excised leaves were also present in the cultured cells. Besides considerable amounts of insoluble residues, the N-glucosyl and the N-malonyl conjugates of 3,4-dichloroaniline, and a yet unknown metabolite was formed in the excised leaves; tentatively the latter was identified with the 6′-O-malonylester of N-glucosyl-3,4-dichloroaniline. The cell suspension cultures produced predominantly the N-malonyl conjugate, besides negligible amounts of the N-glucosyl conjugate, and insoluble residues; the majority of the N-malonyl compound was excreted into the medium. It was shown, that the metabolism of 3,4-dichloroaniline in excised leaves and cell suspension cultures of soybean was directed towards different end products: the excised leaves were able to make extensive use of cell wall structures as a deposit for xenobiotic bound residues, resembling plants in this respect; lack of these structures in the cultured soybean cells resulted in a soluble end product, namely the N-malonyl conjugate

Incubation of soybean cell suspension cultures in B-5 medium containing 0.4 ᴍ sucrose caused induction of chalcone synthase (CHS) up to a specific activity of 8 µkat/kg. CHS from these cultures was purified to apparent homogeneity by a 5-step procedure. Isoelectric focussing of pure CHS gave a major band at pH 5.45 and two weaker bands at pH 5.35 and 5.5. At least the bands at pH 5.35 and 5.45 had CHS activity. Analysis of pure CHS by two-dimensional electrophoresis gave a set ot six proteins with a M, of 40 kDa and pIs between 6.0 and 6.6. One-dimensional PAGE of CHS under non-denaturing conditions gave three closely spaced protein bands. A specific antibody was raised against soybean CHS which cross-reacted with parsley CHS. Attempts to find synthesis of deoxychalconc or of the corresponding 7.4′-dihydroxyflavanonc with CHS of different purification stages and with various cofactors failed.
