Figure 2.
Changes in levels of metabolites in rice cells treated with elicitor. Levels of metabolites in glycolysis (G6P, FBP and pyruvate), the pentose phosphate pathway (6PG and R5P), and the shikimate pathway (shikimate, cinnamate and coumarate) as well as amino acids derived from these pathways were compared between buffer-treated suspension cells (white bars) and elicitor-treated suspension cells (black bars), respectively. Values on the y-axis indicate amounts of metabolites (nmol g−1 fresh weight), which are means ± SE calculated from three independent experiments. UD, under detectable level. PEP, 3PGA and GA3P could not be quantified in either elicitor-treated or control cells.
