고추의 배양세포(培養細胞)에 있어서 고추의 신미성분(辛味成分)인 capsaicinoids 생성(生成)에 미치는 growth regulator의 영향을 조사하기 위하며 growth regulator들을 각각 함유한 Linsmaier-Skoog 기본배지에서 배양(培養)한 callus의 capsaicinoids을 GLC에 의하여 조사하고 또한 capsaicinoids의 중간대사 산물인 phenylpropanoids와 phenylalanine ammonia-lyase activity을 측정하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. Growth regulators가 배양세포(培養細胞)의 capsaicinoids 생성(生成)에 미치는 영향을 조사한 결과 growth regulators을 달리한 배지(培地)에서 생성(生成)된 capsaicinoids의 함량(含量)은 $2,4-D;10^{-6}M$에서 가장 capsaicinoids의 생성량(生成量)이 많았으며 $IAA;10^{-6}M,;NAA;10^{-6}M,;kinetin;10^{-6}M$의 배지(培地)에서는 2,4-D에 비(比)하여 각각 65%, 38%, 68%이었다. 2. Growth regulators을 달리한 기본배지에서 생성(生成)된 phenylpropanoids는 cinnamic acid, coumaric acid의 생성(生成)은 5, 15, 25일(日)에 점진적으로 증가하였으며 NAA 함유 배지에서는 2,4-D에 비해 약 30%, kinetin, IAA 함유배지에서는 약 70% 생성(生成)되었다. 3. $2,4-B;10^{-6}M$을 함유한 배양세포(培養細胞)에서 phenylalanine ammonia-lyase activity을 측정한 결과 배양후(培養後) 5, 15, 25일(日) 배양일수에 따라 phenylalanine ammonia-lyase activity는 신선중량 g당 생성된 cinnamate는 각각 52, 81 및 209 % nmole로 증가하였다.
In order to investigate the effects of growth regulators on the formation of capsaicinoids in callus of Capsicum annuum L. tissues were cultured in the Linsmaier and Skoog RM 1964 medium containing various growth regulators. Production of capsaicinoids during culture was monitored by gas chromatography. In the presence of $10^{-6}M$ of 2,4-D and kinetin in the medium, $1182{mu}g$ of capsaicinoids were formed per 100g dry wt. of tissue, of which was greater than with any of three other growth regulators. IAA, NAA, and kinetin of same concentrations had 65%, 38%, 68% effect of 2.4-D in capsaicinoids formation, respectively. Production of capsaicinoids increased gradually in the presence of 2,4-B as culture period was proceeded. Of phenylpropanoids formed, cinnamic acid and coumaric acid were not significantly different in their levels, although growth regulators were varied. On the other hand, caffeic acid and ferulic acid formation were highest in the presence of 2,4-D. Effects of kinetin and IAA were about 70 percent of that of 2,4-D, whereas NAA had only about 30 percent effect. Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase activity in cultured tissue was increased during the periods; 52, 81, and 209 n moles of cinnamic acid per g fresh wt. were formed after 5, 15, and 25 days of culture, respectively.
