Phenolic compounds and phenylalanine ammonia lyase activity in two soybean (Glycine max L. cv. Mandarin) cell lines that differ in their ploidy levels

Abstract

Through this preliminary experiment examining different color expressions in two soybean cell lines, SB1, and SB3 several important features were observed. SB3 cells, which produce much more dark brown pigments in both suspension and callus cultures, had higher total phenolics and flavonoid contents as well as higher L-phenylalanine ammonia lyase activity.
