RESUMO
The activity of the first enzyme of the shikimate pathway, 3-deoxy-d-arabino-heptulosonate 7-phosphate synthase, varies during the growth cycle of Solanum tuberosum L. cv superior cells in suspension culture. Maximum specific enzyme activity was observed midway through the linear phase of growth. When mid-log phase cells are exposed to glyphosate, the specific activity of the enzyme increases severalfold within 24 hours. The glyphosate-induced increase in enzyme activity is due to an increase in the amount of enzyme as determined by immunoblotting. Glyphosate (up to 2 millimolar) has no effect on the enzyme activity in vitro. Dehydroquinate synthase, the second enzyme of the shikimate pathway, is not induced by glyphosate.
