Both phenylalanine ammonia lyase and tyrosine ammonia lyase were detected in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. Wisconsin 38) callus. The enzymes were separated from each other by Sephadex G-200 column chromatography. Increased activity of tyrosine ammonia lyase was observed during culture of tobacco callus under shoot-forming conditions, while activity of phenylalanine ammonia lyase increased during culture under non-organ-forming conditions. Confirmation of these findings was obtained by examining the incorporation of [(14)C]tyrosine and [(14)C]phenylalanine into p-coumarate and trans-cinnamate, respectively.
