Effects of oligosaccharins on callus growth and saponin content of Panax notoginseng

This work provides some evidences for the saponinproduction of Panax notoginseng callus by using biologi-cally active,wall-related oligosaccharins.In anappropriate concentration,three kinds of oligosaccharinsstimulated saponin formation or callus growth.Theconcentration of DO,GO and CO for saponin productionof Panax notoginseng callus culture were 15ppm,15ppmaud 20ppm respectively by comparing saponin yield.Itwas very obvious for DO to increase saponin contentwhen the concentration was 10ppm,and for GO tostimulate callus growth when the concentration was20ppm.It would be a good way to produce saponin byusing oligosaccharins in large scale culture in thefuture.     

寡糖素对西洋参和人参愈伤组织培养的影响

三七.人参和西洋参细胞悬浮培养的比较研究

用薄层层析对三七、人参和西洋参愈伤组织进行的初步鉴定表明,三种愈伤组织都含有皂甙和主要皂甙成分Rb_1、Rg_1,三七愈伤组织还含有一种抗癌皂甙Rh_1。对愈伤组织的生长,三七低于人参高于西洋参;对愈伤组织中总皂甙含量,三七均高于人参和西洋参。三种植物细胞悬浮培养结果类似于他们的愈伤组织培养,但生长又进一步提高。三七细胞悬浮培养中皂甙产生的时间进程几乎与生长平行,合适的收获期为培养30天。寡糖素不仅增强三七培养细胞的皂甙形成而且促进细胞生长,较合适的浓度为1.25 ppm。通过以上研究,使三七悬浮培养细胞的生长(干重增加178毫克)为最初培养愈伤组织的4倍以上,总皂甙产率高达20.6毫克,为最初培养愈伤组织的8.5倍。     

三七愈伤组织的培养

在MS培养基中加入不同浓度的KT和2,4-D,综合考虑三七愈伤组织生长缓慢兼顾皂甙含量,较合适的KT浓度为0.7ppm,较合适的2,4-D浓度在2—3ppm之间。在培养基中补充各种添加剂,结果以椰子乳和水解乳蛋白较好。综合生长和皂甙含量以20％的椰子乳和0.7％的水解乳蛋白较合适。从21个三七愈伤组织无性繁殖系中筛选山了5个较优的无性系,特别是其中04号无性系更优,无论生长速率还是总皂甙含量都更高。通过以上研究,使三七愈伤组织的生长速率达220毫克/升/天,是原初培养愈伤组织(54.0mg干重/升/天)的4倍。愈伤组织中总皂甙含量高达13％,是原初培养愈伤组织(5.37％)的2.4倍,为原植物的3倍。从而证明了三七培养组织次级代谢的全能性是可调节的,为三七细胞工程的工业生产应用打下了初步基础。     

Studies on Fermentation Culture of Cells of Panax notoginseng

The saponin content of Panax notoginseng cell cultures-was 11.14% of dry weight, the saponin yield was 1513.3mg· L-1, and yield of cell cultures was 13.58g dry wt · L-1 per month in fermentation culture, which were all better than those obtained from in suspension culture.

Regulation of fungal elicitors on the cell growth and biosynthesis of saponin of Panax ginseng cell suspension culture]

Adding fungal elicitors to the Panax ginseng cell suspension cultures, the biosynthesis of saponin was obviously induced, the total productivity of saponin in cultures could increase more than 30% of the control. During elicitation, the accumulation patterns of saponin in suspension cultured cells were changed, the culture time for maximum biosynthesis of saponin was shortened 2-4 days comparing with that of the control, and about 80% of biosynthetic saponin in elicited cells was secreted into medium, meanwhile the uptake for sucrose in medium of cells was enhanced, and the disturbing of pH in medium was observed, which predicated that an ion exchange occurred between elicited cells and medium.

Characteristics of transformedPanax ginseng C.A. Meyer hairy roots: Growth and nutrient profile

Ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) hairy root cultures, which are established via the infection of ginseng root discs withRhizobium rhizogenes, have been used to construct profiles of both biomass growth and nutrient consumption in flask cultures. In a 250 mL shake flask culture, the maximum biomass was observed on the 59th day of the culture period, at 216.8 g (fresh wt) per liter or 11.4 g (dry wt) per liter. The hairy roots were determined to have a growth rate of 0.355 g-DW/g cells/day during the exponential growth phase and a maximum specific growth rate on day 7. Total ginseng saponin and phenolic compound contents were noted to have increased within the latter portion of the culture period. Linear correlations between increases in biomass weight and nutrient uptake were used to imply the conductivity yield 2.60 g-DW/(L·mS) and carbon yield 0.45 g-DW/(g sugar) in the 250 mL flask cultures. The biomass yield when two different nitrogen sources were used (ammonia and nitrate) was shown to remain approximately constant, at 0.47 g-DW/(l·mM NH₄) and 0.33 g-DW/(L·mM NO₃); it remained at these levels for 16 days with the ammonia, and for 24 days with the nitrate. The biomass yield when a phosphate source was used was also shown to remain approximately constant for 9 days, at 3.17 g-DW/(L·mM PO₄), with an R² of 0.99.     

Effects of elicitation on the production of saponin in cell culture of Panax ginseng

This study was initiated to investigate the impacts of elicitor concentration and elicitor-adding time on the saponin synthesis and the cell growth of Panax ginseng cell suspensions. Both of the elicitors tested, yeast extract and methyl jasmonate, significantly improved saponin production. The highest additive level of the seven ginsenosides tested was 2.07% (dry weight basis), which was 28-fold higher than that in the control. The optimum time to add either elicitor was found to be on the day of inoculation. The addition of either elicitor did not show as significant an influence on cell growth as on saponin production. It was advisable to remove 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) from the medium when methyl jasmonate was used as the elicitor as methyl jasmonate interacts antagonistically with 2,4-D. These results suggest that the addition of an elicitor to ginseng cell suspension cultures could stimulate saponin production.     

Effect of plant growth regulators and medium composition on cell growth and saponin production during cell-suspension culture of mountain ginseng (Panax ginseng C. A. mayer)

We have established cell-suspension cultures of mountain ginseng (Panax ginseng G A. Mayer), and have attempted to increase the yield of saponin by manipulating our processing method and culturing factors (e.g., media strengths; the presence of plant growth regulators or sucrose; ratios of NO⁺ ₃/ NH^- ₄). Maximum biomass yield was obtained in media containing 2,4-D. However, saponin productivity was much higher in a medium comprising either IBA or NAA; 7.0 mg/L IBA was optimal for promoting both cell growth (10.0 g/L dry weight) and saponin production (7.29 mg/g DW total ginsenoside). Although the addition of cytokinins (BA and kinetin) did not affect cell growth, the level of saponin (particularly in the Rb group) was enhanced when the media were supplemented with either 0.5 mg/L BA or 0.5 mg/L kinetin. Half- and full-strength MS media were equally suitable for inducing both biomass as well as saponin production. We also investigated the effect of various concentrations of sucrose and nitrogen, and found that 30 g/L sucrose enhanced biomass yield as well as saponin content However, further increases (i.e., up to 70 g/L) led to a decrease in saponin accumulation and biomass production. Maximum growth and saponin productivity were reported from treatments with an initial nitrogen concentration of 30 mM. In general, the amount of saponin increased when the test media had high NO⁺ ₃/ NH^- ₄ ratios; in fact, saponin production was greatest when nitrate was the sole nitrogen source.     

Effect of calcium carbonate and iron on the availability and uptake of iron,manganese, phosphorus and calcium in pea (Pisum sativum L.)

Summary The effect of CaCO₃ and iron on the availability of iron, manganese phosphorus and calcium was studied in the greenhouse on pea (Pisum sativum L.) crop on a light textured soil, which was marginal in exchangeable calcium. Addition of calcium carbonate caused significant increase in dry matter yield with no added iron at both the stages of crop growth. But yeild intended to decrease with 8% CaCO₃ at 75 days of crop growth. Dry matter yield also increased with the addition of iron upto 10 ppm at 45 days and upto 5 ppm at 75 days. The iron concentration and uptake decreased with the increase in CaCO₃ and increased with the application of iron at both the stages of crop growth. The application of iron and CaCO₃ decreased concentration and uptake of phosphorus significantly at both the stages.Like phosphorus, concentration and uptake of manganese also decreased with the increase in added CaCO₃ upto 8% and iron upto 20 ppm at 45 and 75 days. The concentration of calcium increased with the addition of CaCO₃ to the extent of 50 and 40% with 8% CaCO₃ at 45 and 75 days, while the uptake of calcium increased more than 3 folds at 45 days and more than 2 folds at 75 days. The concentration of calcium decreased with the application of iron upto 20 ppm but the uptake at 45 days increased upto 10 ppm and at 75 days upto 5 ppm and then decreased.The concentration of Fe, P and Ca decreased at 75 days and that of Mn increased while the uptake of all these nutrients increased at 2nd stage due to higher dry matter.

Berry productivity and molluscicidal saponin yield ofPhytolacca Dodecandra (Phytolaccaceae) under different sunlight,watering and nutrient conditions

The cultivation ofPhytolacca dodecandra has been studied in Zimbabwe in order to initiate local production of the berries from which molluscicidal saponins can be extracted and used in schistosomiasis control programs. The effect of shading, water and nutrient type on growth and berry yield of an imported Ethiopian and a Zimbabwean cultivar were monitored. The molluscicidal potency and saponin concentration of the aqueous extracts of berries, harvested at the full grown, unripe development stage, were determined. There was a marked seasonal variation in berry production with both cultivars being highly productive in the dry season. The best growth and the highest berry yield was obtained with plants grown in full sunlight, under irrigation and with application of cattle manure. The Ethiopian cultivar showed in general better growth and higher berry yield than the Zimbabwean cultivar. Cultivation in shade gave a substantially lower berry yield and saponin concentration in both cultivars, compared to full sunlight. Irrigation was beneficial to the berry yield in both cultivars but lowered the saponin concentration in berries of the Ethiopian cultivar. However, it did not counteract the advantage of irrigation on the total yield. Addition of manure did significantly increase the growth and the berry yield of both cultivars compared to fertilizer application and to the control. The saponin concentration was in general lower with addition of manure, with exception of irrigated Ethiopian plants. The combination of cattle manure and irrigation resulted in the highest saponin yield. Although the two cultivars had different saponin patterns, these patterns and the relative proportions of the saponins were constant, irrespective of the treatments.     

Saponin production by hairy root cultures ofPanax ginseng CA meyer: Influence of PGR and polyamines

A culture of hairy roots ofPanax ginseng C.A. Meyer was set up in order to investigate the possibility of producing ginseng saponin. Roots cultured in 1/2 MS medium in the presence of 2 mg/L IAA and 0.1 mM spermidine showed the maximal growth rate, whereas other polyamines increased the growth of hairy roots only slightly or not at all. High saponin root contents were obtained in culture media supplemented with 0.5 mg/L GA and 1 mM putrescine.     

The Physiological Effects of Elicitor Ginseng-oligosaccharides on oell Culture of Carthamus tinctorius

Different kinds of oligosaccharides were isolated and purified from the culture cells of Panax ginseng. Results showed that these oligosaccharides could increased the cell growth rate and α-tocopherol content of the cell culture of Carthamus tinctorius. Among them, the effects of oligosaccharide Ⅵ, Ⅶ and Ⅷ were more significant than the others. The optimum effective concentrations of oligosaccharide Ⅵ, Ⅶ and Ⅷ were higher in callus culture than in suspension culture. Studies on the time course of addition of oligosaccharide Ⅶ and Ⅷ in different culture. period of Carthamus tinctorius cultures revealed that the α-tocopherol content was increased after addition of oligosaccharides for 1–3 days. The cell growth rate was increased by 18.11%. The α-tocopherol content and yield were increased by 3.5 and 4.3 folds respectively when supplement with 2 mg/L of oligosaccharide Ⅵ and Ⅶ and 1 mg/L of oligosaccharide Ⅷ to the suspension medium at the same time.     

Production of ginsenoside and polysaccharide by two-stage cultivation of Panax quinquefolium L. cells

Based on the results of carbon source consumption in cell suspension culture of Panax quinquefolium L., 30 g L⁻¹ sucrose was fed into a 5-L stirred tank bioreactor on day 16 of culture to enhance cell density and metabolite production. Using a fed-batch cultivation strategy, polysaccharide production was enhanced to 1.608 g L⁻¹, which was 1.96-fold greater than with batch cultivation. The maximum saponin yield (7.828 mg L⁻¹) was obtained on day 24 and was about 36% higher than the yields obtained using batch cultivation. In a two-stage culture process, a combined treatment with sucrose, lactoalbumin hydrolysate, and methyl jasmonate caused a significant increase in total saponin yield (31.52 mg L⁻¹) in cell cultures after 27 d. This value represents an increase of 4.03-fold compared with the total saponin yield in fed-batch cultivation. The two-stage culture mode provided the best method for the in vitro production of secondary metabolites from P. quinquefolium.
