Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0031-9422(88)83108-X

α,β-Unsaturated ketones were reduced by various plant cells grown under different cultural conditions.The stereochemistry of the reduction of (-)-carvone by Medicago sativa was found to be identical to that obtained with other organisms.Key Word Index - Medicago sativa; Papillionaceae; Lucerne; bioconversion; reduction; α,β-unsaturated ketones.
