Condensed and hydrolyzable tannins in two soybean (Glycine max L. cv. Madarin) cell lines that differ in their ploidy levels

Abstract

Comparison of SB1 and SB3 cell lines in both suspension and callus cultures showed that the latter, which produce much more dark brown pigments, had higher levels of condensed tannins. They also had higher total phenolics and flavonoid contents and L-phenylalanine ammonia lyase activity.
