Abstract
Callus culture of CHRYSANTHEMUM CINERARIAEFOLIUM (Trev.) Bocc. (Asteraceae), initiated with axillary buds from the plant, have been shown to produce chrysanthemyl alcohol and chrysanthemic acid. Incubation of a cell-free homogenate from the callus with [1- (14)C]-isopentenyl pyrophosphate demonstrated incorporation of radioactivity into chrysanthemyl alcohol and chrysanthemic acid as well as products from isopentenyl pyrophosphate isomerase (EC 5.3.3.2; isopentenyl diphosphate Delta (3)-Delta (2)-isomerase) and prenyltransferase activities (EC 2.5.1.11; allylic-terpene-diphosphate:isopentenyl diphosphate terpenoid-allyltransferase).
