Abstract

Suspension culture of macrotomia dyeing (Arnebia/Macrotomia euchroma (Royle) Pauls) resistant to para-fluorophenylalanine (PFP) is characterized by low level of shikonin accumulation as compared to initial cell strain and retain this feature for a long time of growth in the absence of PFP. At the same time increase of resistance level is observed. Indolebutiric acid instead of indoleacetic acid and kinetin promote partial recovery of cell productivity. No rootformation usually observed in initial cell strain after such phytohormone exchange in medium is observed in PFP-resistant variant.
