title: Glycosylation of sesamol by cultured plant cells.
abstract: The glycosylation of sesamol was investigated using cultured cells of Nicotiana tabacum and Eucalyptus perriniana. The cultured suspension cells of N. tabacum converted sesamol into its beta-glucoside (7%) as well as the disaccharide, sesamyl 6-O-(beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-beta-D-glucopyranoside (beta-gentiobioside, 30%). On the other hand, sesamyl 6-O-(alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl)-beta-D-glucopyranoside (beta-rutinoside, 56%), together with the beta-glucoside (3%), was produced when sesamol was incubated with suspension cells of E. perriniana.
