Catabolism of Endogenous and Exogenous Compounds by Plant Cell Cultures

  • Conference paper
Plant Tissue Culture and Its Bio-technological Application

Part of the book series: Proceedings in Life Sciences ((LIFE SCIENCES))

Abstract

Many reports in the literature over the past decade have established that higher plants possess a much greater capacity than previously expected for the degradation of a wide variety of organic compounds (3, 19, 23, 55). These observations are of special interest in the field of secondary plant constituents because such compounds were generally regarded as storage products without any further metabolism during the life time of a plant (49, 54). The present concept, however, holds that the majority of plant products is in a state of permanent metabolism with concomitant synthesis and degradation of both primary and secondary constituents. Therefore, stationary concentrations of plant products are the result of the ratio of the rate of synthesis and turnover (steady-state-concentrations) (for details see 3, 5, 70).
