Production of two volatile glucosinolate hydrolysis compounds in Nasturtium montanum and Cleome chelidonii plant cell cultures.

Callus and suspension cultures established from Nasturtium montanum and Cleome chelidonii were shown to produce glucosinolates by analysis of their hydrolysis products. Large increases in two glucosinolate hydrolysis products were noted when cultures were supplemented with L-cysteine and L-methionine, and further increases were produced in N. montanum with l-tryptophan supplementation.
