Abstract

The phospholipids of cultured parsley and soybean cells were labelled with myo-[2-3H]inositol, [2-3H]glycerol or [32P]orthophosphate. By one-and two-dimensional chromatographic comparison of the labelled phospholipids with reference substances, the presence of 1-(3-sn-phosphatidyl)-ᴅ-myo-inositol 4-phosphate and 1-(3-sn-phosphatidyl)-ᴅ-myo-inositol 4,5-bisphosphate was demonstrated in these cultures. These results were corroborated by analysis of the deacylation products. Cells were labelled with either myo-[2-3H]inositol, [2-3H]glycerol or [32P]orthophosphate and subsequently challenged with elicitor for various lengths of time. Radioactivity in individual phosphoinositides from these cells was determined. No significant influence of elicitor-challenge of either soybean or parsley cells on incorporation of 3H or 32P into polyphospho­inositides was found between 0.5 and 20 min after elicitor addition.
