Abstract

Yeast extract-treated suspension cultures of a new cell line, AK-1, of Glycyrrhiza echinata were induced to produce an isoflavonoid phytoalexin (medicarpin) and metabolites of retrochalcone/flavone pathway (echinatin, licodione, and 7,4'-dihydroxyflavone). From these cells, putative full-length cDNAs encoding cytochrome P450s, (2S)-flavanone 2-hydroxylase and isoflavone 2'-hydroxylase, were cloned.
