Table 1. Naphthoquinone production in I. balsamina root cultures after adding methionine at various concentrations to the culture medium at day 0.
Figure 2. Intracellular and extracellular content of (a) lawsone, (b) lawsone methyl ether and (c) 3,3′-methylenebislawsone after feeding with various concentrations of methionine to 21-day old root cultures. Data are mean value ± SE of n = 5 (M-300, M-500 and M-1000 = methionine concentrations at 300, 500 and 1000 mg/L, respectively).
