RESUMO
The effects of phosphate deprivation on the growth and polyamine levels of suspension-cultured rice (Oryza sativa) cells were investigated. When rice suspension cells were deprived of phosphate, cell growth was markedly inhibited. Phosphate deprivation resulted in a higher putrescine level and lower spermidine and spermine levels in rice suspension cells. The growth of rice cells cultured in the absence of phosphate did not recover as a result of spermidine and spermine addition. D-Arginine and [alpha]-methylornithine, inhibitors of putrescine biosynthesis, caused a reduced level of putrescine in rice suspension cells cultured under phosphate deprivation. The growth of rice cells cultured in the absence of phosphate was completely recovered after the addition of D-arginine but not [alpha]-methylornithine. Our results indicate that putrescine accumulation is a factor causing growth inhibition of suspension-cultured rice cells under phosphate deprivation.
