Abstract

Microspore-derived cell lines resistant to 5-methyltryptophan (5MT, a tryptophan analog) or S-(2-aminoethyl)-L-cysteine (AEC, a Iysine analog) were selected in rice by in vitro mutagenesis. For selection of 5MT or AEC resistant cell lines, suspension-cultured cells were irradiated with gamma rays. Thirteen 5MT resistant cell lines were selected and they were able to grow stably at 2 times higher 5MT concentration. A feedback insensitive form of anthranilate synthesis, the pathway specific control enzyme for tryptophan synthesis, was detected from the 5MT resistant lines. Contents of the free amino acids in five resistant lines (MR12-1 to MR12-5) showed a 7.4 to 46.6 times greater level than that in the control culture. Tryptophan, phenylalanine, and tyrosine levels in the shikimate pathway were 28.1 and 22.5 times higher in MR12-3 and MR12 4, respectively, than that measured in the control cells. Four AEC resistant cell lines were isolated from cultures grown on medium containing 1 mM AEC, They were able to grow stably with 2 mM AEC, while sensitive calli were inhibited by 0.5 mM AEC. Aspartate kinase activities of the resistant lines were insensitive to the natural inhibitor, Iysine, and accumulated 2.2 to 12.9-fold higher levels of free Iysine than that of the control cells. Especially, the levels of aspartate, asparagine, and methionine in the aspartate pathway showed higher accumulation in the AEC resistant lines than that in the control cells.
