The influence of copper sulphate on the regeneration of carrot (Daucus carota L.) androgenic embryos and changes in the levels of phenolic
substances and polyamines that might be indicative of the response to oxidative stress were investigated. The cultivation on the regeneration
medium supplemented with Cu2þ at the concentrations 1 and 10 mM for 15 weeks resulted in significant dose-dependent inhibition of the growth
and organogenic ability of carrot embryos. The total content of phenolic acids (represented by the sum of all soluble and insoluble fractions) in
the Cu2þ-treated carrot cultures did not change in comparison with the control (0.1 mM Cu2þ). However, the levels of phenolic acids in the individual
fractions showed significant differences. The cultivation in the presence of increased Cu2þ evoked first of all the rise of free chlorogenic
and caffeic acids, and the increase in soluble ester-bound ferulic acid. Marked dose-dependent decline in the amount of ferulic acid incorporated
into the cell walls of the Cu2þ-treated carrot cultures was partly compensated by the increase in the content of p-hydroxybenzoic acid. Decline in
the total polyamine contents in the carrot tissues cultivated in the presence of increased Cu2þ concentrations was observed. The most abundant
polyamine, both in a free and PCA-soluble conjugated forms, was putrescine, the least abundant was spermine, which occurred in free form only.
While the levels of free polyamines slightly decreased in a dose-dependent manner in the Cu2þ-treated cultures, those of PCA-soluble conjugates
markedly rose (enhancement to 135 and 170% in 1 and 10 mMCu2þ, respectively, compared with the control). The decline in the total polyamine
contents was caused mainly by the decline in the levels of PCA-insoluble conjugates. The decrease observed in this fraction was approximately
to 70 and 50% in 1 and 10 mM Cu2þ-treated cultures, respectively, when compared with the control. The role of phenolic acids and polyamines
in preventing Cu2þstress in the carrot tissues is discussed.
