Abstract
During somatic embryogenesis in Papaver orientale tissue cultures a permanent starch accumulation and a transient triacylglycerol accumulation were observed. The degradation of the lipids during plantlet development from embryoids was paralleled by an activity increase of the glyoxylate-cycle enzymes malate synthase (EC 4.1.3.2) and isocitrate lyase (EC 4.1.3.1). Fat accumulation and breakdown was interpreted as a reflection of seed formation and germination during normal development.Entities:
