Induction of biosynthesis of epicatechin in avocado suspension cells treated with an enriched CO2 atmosphere.

Increased levels of phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) activity were detected in avocado cell suspension cultures exposed to an atmosphere of 30% carbon dioxide. Chalcone synthase (CHS) activity was also enhanced by 30% and a 1.5 to 2-fold greater accumulation of epicatechin than in untreated cells was observed. It is suggested that epicatechin levels in avocado cell suspensions is regulated by PAL and CHS activation and can be increased by carbon dioxide activity.
