Abstract

A range of techniques have been employed to detect and examine aldehydic products of lipid peroxidation in D. carota cultures. Emphasis is placed on the use of HPLC and LC-MS techniques to aid the identification and profiling of aldehydic dinitrophenyl hydrazone (DNPH)-derivatives in dedifferentiated callus tissues. Using these approaches, malondialdehyde (MDA) and 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE) have been identified in cultures of D. carota. Using LC-MS, it was found that embryogenic cultures have high levels of HNE and lower levels of MDA compared to non-embryogenic cultures. Future studies will evaluate the role of these lipid peroxidation products in in vitro morphogenesis.
