Abstract
Soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merrill, cv. Dare) suspension cultures grown in Gamborg B5 medium became discolored and the cells began aggregating after 1 week in culture, especially in the absence of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). The addition of either soluble polyvinylpyrrolidine (PVP) or bovine serum albumin (BSA) to cultures grown in Gamborg B5 medium with 2,4-D prevents discoloration and cell aggregation by adsorbing excess polyphenols from the cells. Transfer of the PVP-treated cultures to fresh medium without 2,4-D stimulated the recurrence of excess polyphenols. Cultures pretreated with BSA did not develop excess polyphenols when transferred to fresh 2,4-D-free medium. Addition of either PVP or BSA to cultures grown in the absence of 2,4-D was found to inhibit growth.
