Proline is one of the amino acids that compose proteins and has various roles under non-stress and stress conditions. In this study, we investigated the effect of proline on the growth and browning of two plants, tobacco and rice, by exogenous application and endogenous increase of proline. Exogenous proline had a different effect on the growth and browning between tobacco and rice: proline affected negatively the growth of tobacco seedlings and favorably that of rice seedlings. In addition, proline prevented browning only in rice cultured cells, consistent with the increase of proline contents, but not in tobacco BY-2 cells. These results might be due to the difference of exogenous proline uptake activity in these cells. From the Lineweaver-Burk plots, proline inhibited polyphenol oxidase activity in vitro, which is a major factor of enzymatic browning in plants, by affecting the enzyme-substrate complex. Proline could suppress the browning of the plant callus by inhibition of PPO activity.
