Ap. Smolov et Ta. Oleinikova, PHOSPHATE UTILIZATION BY HETEROTROPHIC AN D MIXOTROPHIC GLYCINE-MAX CALLUS, Izvestia Akademii nauk SSSR. Seria biologiceskaa, (6), 1995, pp. 745-749
Comparative studies of the rate of exogenous phosphate uptake and its
assimilation by callus cells of Glycine max for hetero- and mixotrophi
c growth were made. It is shown that the type of tissue culture and co
ntent of macrocomponents in the nutrient medium (nitrate, sucrose) inf
luenced the rate of exogenous phosphate uptake. However, the quantity
of phosphate assimilated by callus cells for the growth cycle did not
depend on the types of cultivation and was about 30% of the total phos
phate uptake.
