Plant cell culture basal

In a similar application, Plaza et al. reported a Cd2+-selective electrode that was used to monitor the uptake of Cd2+ by yeast and Arabidopsis cell cultures [83]. In the presence of Ca(N03)2 and a 0.5 x Murashige and Skoog basal medium for yeast and plant cells, the LODs were 10 1(1 and 10 8M, respectively. Controlled experiments using AAS confirmed that the decrease in Cd2+ activities was caused by the uptake of the metal by the cells under investigation. 

The IBP and its products are displayed in Figure 12.1. HMG-CoA, ultimately derived from acetyl-CoA is converted to mevalonate via the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase (HMGR) [8]. This reaction is the rate-limiting step in the pathway. Mevalonate is then phosphorylated via mevalonate kinase (MK) to yield 5-phosphomevalonate [9]. IPP is formed following additional phosphorylation and decarboxylation steps [10]. Isomerization of IPP via the enzyme IPP isomerase yields DMAPP [11]. In mammals, the enzyme farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase (FDPS) catalyzes the synthesis of both GPP and FPP [12]. In plants, a separate GPP synthase has been identified [13]. GPP is a key intermediate in plants as it serves as the precursor for all monoterpenes. In animals, however, GPP appears to serve only as an intermediate in the synthesis of FPP. Very low basal levels of GPP have been measured in cell culture, although cellular GPP levels can become markedly increased in the setting of FDPS inhibition [14].
