cell suspension culture analysis of in vivo activity of arginine decarboxylase in three different cell lines of Daucus carota, namely N1 (embryogenic), F1 (non-embryogenic), and O3 (habituated and non-embryogenic), during growth and somatic embryogenesis. The enzyme activity in the presence of various levels of auxin (2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid) is highest during periods of active cell division. During somatic embryo development, the enzyme activity is highest during globular stage formation. Stage-specific activity of ADC, overview Daucus carota

General Information

General Information Comment Organism
metabolism arginine decarboxylase is a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of putrescine and thus polyamines Daucus carota
additional information ADC in vivo activity varies with auxin concentration in the medium, overview Daucus carota
physiological function the enzyme is active during growth and somatic embryogenesis and contributes to polyamine biosynthesis, its activity lead to putrescine and, subsequently, to spermidine and spermine formation Daucus carota
