Glyphosate tolerant cell lines were selected from highly embryogenic cell suspension culture ofMedicago sativa L. Resistant cell lines showed significant reduction of embryogenic ability and during long-term culture in the presence of glyphosate gradual loss of this ability was observed. After glyphosate treatment the increased activity of 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase in tolerant cell lines overcame the block in aromatic amino acid synthesis which was observed in control cell lines. Glyphosate caused marked increase in the content of shikimic acid in both control and tolerant cell lines but the accumulation of shikimic acid was considerably lower in tolerant calli. Significant qualitative and quantitative differences were found in the content of individual phenolic acids. The considerable decrease in the amount of cinnamic acid derivates and broader spectrum of hydroxybenzoic acids suggest in tolerant cell lines the activation of alternative pathway not regulated by phenylalanine ammonia lyase. The possible role of altered pool of phenolic acids on the embryogenic ability is discussed.
