Abstract
We investigated the influence of sucrose starvation on the growth and on the polyamine and abscisic acid (ABA) levels of suspension-cultured rice cells. When the cells were deprived of surcose, cell growth was strongly inhibited. Sucrose starvation resulted in lower polyamine lev els and higher ABA levels in rice suspension cells than in the control cells. Our results indicate that the decrease in polyamine levels and the increase in ABA levels are not associated with growth inhibition in sucrose-starved suspension-cultured rice cells.
