Abstract
The fine control of caffeine biosynthesis was investigated using caffeine-forming tea callus lines. Feeding of paraxanthine doubled the caffeine level relative to controls. In contrast, no stimulation of caffeine accumulation was observed when the calli were cultured with adenosine, guanosine or hypoxanthine for 3 weeks.
