| Description |
Cuminaldehyde is the major carbonyl in the essential oil obtained from the seeds of cumin (Cuminum cyminum L.). Cumin seeds were used as explants. Undifferentiated callus was produced when MS medium was supplemented with 3 mug l-1 of 2,4-D. Culturing on MS medium, in the absence or with reduced concn. of 2,4-D, but with supplementation with indoleacetic acid, naphthaleneacetic acid and kinetin led to differentiating cultures, Total carbonyl contents were estimated in both types of callus culture at different growth stages (15, 30, 45 and 60 days). At all stages the carbonyl content was higher in the differentiating callus. Cuminaldehyde was found to be the major flavour ingredient in cumin callus cultures. Results indicate that differentiation of the callus is a pre-requisite for formation of the secondary metabolite.
