STUDIES ON THE REGULATION OF CERTAIN ESSENTIAL BIOSYNTHETIC SYSTEMS IN NORMAL AND CROWN-GALL TUMOR CELLS

Abstract
Mechanisms by which certain biosynthetic systems essential for cell growth are regulated were studied in crown-gall tumor cells of Vinca rosea. A number of the biosynthetic systems shown to be permanently unblocked in the plant tumor cell were found to be ion-activated systems. It was shown that ion uptake and utilization was facilitated by and probably dependent on the availability of meso inositol.
