Abstract
The addition of geraniol to cell suspension cultures of Citrus limon resulted in the rapid formation of nerol, citronellol, geranic acid and citronellic acid. Concurrently, a transient accumulation of bound forms of branched chain fatty acids, and, with a few hours delay, of regular chain C2 to C12 fatty acids was elicited. A concerted action of combined α/β-oxidation enzymes on the terpenic acids, followed by an enlarged acetyl CoA pool is suggested. Terpene catabolism in plants and in vitro plant cells is discussed.
