Capsaicin formation in p-fluorophenylalanine resistant and normal cell cultures of Capsicum frutescens and activity of phenylalanine ammonia lyase 

 -  Journal of BioScience, 23(3), p.209-212, 1998 .
<br/><br/> Callus cultures of Capsicum frutescens capable of producing a maximum of 53 &g capsaicin/g FW were exposed to various levels of -fluorophenyialanine (PFP)at 100, 400, 1000 and 2000 &M to develop a resistant cell line that over produces capsaicin. After 15 days of culturing on media lacking PFP, cell lines resistant to 100, 400 and 1000 &M registered 18
