Abstract
Carotenoid content of tobacco tissue grown in suspension culture was significantly affected by 2 mg . 1-1 I-naphthaleneacctic acid (NAA) and 500 mg . 1-1 (2-chloroethyl)-trimethyl-ammonium chloride (CCC). CCC caused a 4-fold increase of carotenoid concentration in the tissue and a 2-fold increase of carotenoid accumulation per one cultural flask mainly due to the appearance of significant amounts of lycopene. In the absence of NAA the tissue contained a much smaller amount of carotenoids and CCC failed to induce lycopene accumulation.
