Instability of anthocyanin accumulation inVitis vinifera L. var. Gamay Fréaux suspension cultures

The inherent instability of metabolite production in plant cell culture-based bioprocessing is a major problem hindering its commercialization. To understand the extent and causes of this instability, this study was aimed at understanding the variability of anthocyanin accumulation during long-term subcultures, as well as within subculture batches, inVitis vinifera cell cultures. Therefore, four cell line suspensions ofVitis vinifera L. var. Gamay Fréaux, A, B, C and D, originated from the same callus by cell-aggregate cloning, were established with starting anthocyanin contents of 2.73±0.15, 1.45±0.04, 0.77±0.024 and 0.27±0.04 CV (Color Value)/g-FCW (fresh cell weight), respectively. During weekly subculturing of 33 batches over 8 months, the anthocyanin biosynthetic capacity was gradually lost at various rates, for all four cell lines, regardless of the significant difference in the starting anthocyanin content. Contrary to this general trend, a significant fluctuation in the anthocyanin content was observed, but with an irregular cyclic pattern. The variabilities in the anthocyanin content between the subcultures for the 33 batches, as represented by the variation coefficient (VC), were 58, 57, 54, and 84% forV. vinifera cell lines A, B, C and D, respectively. Within one subculture, the VCs from 12 replicate flasks for each of 12 independent subcultures were averaged, and found to be 9.7%, ranging from 4 to 17%. High- and low-producing cell lines, VV05 and VV06, with 1.8-fold differences in their basal anthocyanin contents, exhibited different inducibilities tol-phenylalanine feeding, methyl jasmonate and light irradiation. The low-producing cell line showed greater potential in enhanced the anthocyanin production.     

Elicitation of rosmarinic acid by <Emphasis Type="Italic">Lavandula vera</Emphasis> MM cell suspension culture with abiotic elicitors

The growth of Lavandula vera MM plant cell suspension culture and rosmarinic acid biosynthesis under elicitation with benzothiadiazole and methyl jasmonate were investigated. Upon elicitation with 50 μM methyl jasmonate, the production of rosmarinic acid was enhanced 2.4-fold (3348 mg/l) compared to the non-elicited cells. The influence of benzothiadiazole on rosmarinic acid biosynthesis was weaker and 12 h after its addition the achieved yields were 20–30% higher compared to the control variant at this time. The influence of both elicitors on rosmarinic acid secretion into the culture medium was also discussed.     

Improved isoflavonoid production in Pueraria candollei hairy root cultures using elicitation

The effect of abiotic and biotic elicitors (methyl jasmonate, chitosan, salicylic acid, Agrobacterium, and yeast extract) at various concentrations on total isoflavonoid accumulation was studied in the hairy root cultures of Pueraria candollei. All elicitors stimulated isoflavonoid production. Yeast extract (0.5 mg/ml) was the most efficient giving total isoflavonoids at 60 ± 1 mg/g dry wt, which was 4.5-fold higher than control hairy roots on day 3 of elicitation.     

Polysaccharide elicitors enhance anthocyanin and phenolic acid accumulation in cell suspension cultures of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Vitis vinifera</Emphasis>

The effects of yeast extract and selected polysaccharide elicitors on secondary metabolite production, particularly of anthocyanin and phenolic acid, in cell suspension cultures of Vitis vinifera were investigated. All elicitors either maintained or promoted cell growth in culture. Overall, secondary metabolite production in V. vinifera cell suspension cultures responded differently to different elicitors. Chitosan, pectin, and alginate enhanced production of anthocyanin within 13 days of culture with levels of 2.5-, 2.5-, and 2.6-fold increase, respectively, over that of control. Chitosan, alginate, and gum arabic significantly promoted accumulation of phenolic acids, particularly 3-O-glucosyl-resveratrol, in V. vinifera cultures, as well as in the culture medium. Intracellular phenolic acid production was significantly enhanced by alginate and chitosan, with 1.7- and 1.5-fold levels, respectively, of that of control. Extracellular phenolic acid production was also significantly increased in the presence of chitosan and gum arabic, with levels of 3.3- and 1.7-fold higher, respectively, than those of control. In addition, DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging activity was enhanced in the presence of elicitors, and this was positively correlated with increased accumulation of anthocyanin in V. vinifera cell suspension cultures.     

Elicitor-enhanced production of gymnemic acid in cell suspension cultures of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Gymnema sylvestre</Emphasis> R. Br.

Cell suspension cultures of Gymnema sylvestre treated with four different elicitors, methyl jasmonate (MJ), yeast extract, chitin and pectin were studied for the production of gymnemic acid as gymnemagenin equivalent, that was analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). All the four tested elicitors induced gymnemic acid production in cell suspension cultures. Highest gymnemic acid content was achieved following treatment with yeast extract (100.47 ± 0.28 mg/l), this was followed by MJ (70.43 ± 0.26 mg/l), pectin (64.19 ± 0.23 mg/l) and chitin (62.72 ± 0.13 mg/l). The addition of elicitors has shown a significant influence on cell growth that affected cell growth compared to respective controls. The highest gymnemic acid production was obtained after 20 days of elicitation in cultures treated with 0.5 g l^−l yeast extract, it was 5.25-folds greater than in control. These results suggest that the addition of an elicitor to Gymnema sylvestre cell suspension cultures could stimulate and enhance gymnemic acid production. In our present study we could able to overproduce gymnemic acid up to 51.97 ± 0.26 mg l^−l (dry weight basis) in yeast extract treated cell suspension cultures.     

Effects of exogenous methyl jasmonate in elicited anthocyanin-producing cell cultures of ohelo (Vaccinium phalae)

Summary Elicitation of anthocyanin-producing cells of ohelo (Vaccinium pahalae) by both biotic (purified β-glucan and chitosan) and abiotic [sodium ferric ethylenediamine di-(o-hydroxyphenylacetate) FeEDDHA, and CuSO₄] elicitors resulted in significant enhancement of anthocyanin accumulation. Anthocyanin production increased up to 1.8 and 1.5-fold over the control in the presence of abiotic elicitors (90 μM FeEDDHA and 20 μM CuSO₄, respectively), and increased 1.9 and 1.6-fold in the presence of biotic elicitors (10 mg L⁻¹ β-glucan and 100 mg L⁻¹ chitosan). Maximum anthocyanin production with the two most effective elicitors was achieved when cultures were treated on Day 3 (β-glucan) or Day 0 (FeEDDHA) after the initiation of fresh cell cultures. A concentration-dependent response was exhibited by cultures treated with exogenous methyl jasmonate (MJ). The addition of 0.5 μM MJ alone provoked a 2–3-fold increase in anthocyanin production over that of the control; however, no additive effect on anthocyanin production was observed in any treatments which combined MJ and β-glucan or FeEDDHA. Conditioning of the cells with a preculture in either MJ, β-glucan, or FeEDDHA similarly did not enhance anthocyanin production. Inoculation of cultures elicited by MJ or β-glucan with ibuprofen, a reported inhibitor of jasmonate biosynthesis, dramatically stimulated, rather than inhibited, anthocyanin production, resulting in levels of accumulation beyond any of the tested elicitor combinations. Hypotheses for the observed influence of ibuprofen in this system are discussed.     

Significantly improved taxuyunnanine C production in cell suspension cultures of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Taxus chinensis</Emphasis> by process intensification of repeated elicitation,sucrose feeding,and in situ adsorption

A highly efficient process intensification strategy was developed to enhance the taxuyunnanine C (Tc) production in Taxus chinensis (T. chinensis) by combining repeated elicitation with a synthesized jasmonate analog, 2,3-dihydroxypropyl jasmonate (DHPJA), sucrose feeding and in situ adsorption. Suspension cultures of a high Tc-producing cell line of T. chinensis were supplemented twice, on day 7 and day 12, with 100 μM DHPJA. The cultures were also supplemented by feeding 20 g sucrose/l and 100 g Ambelite XAD-7/l on day 7. This strategy had a synergistic effect on Tc synthesis, causing a significant increase in the Tc yield to 1,715.13 ± 124.12 mg/l on day 21. The yield was 3.28-fold above that produced by repeated DHPJA elicitation combined with sucrose feeding. When XAD-7 was replaced by Amberlite XAD-7 HP, the result was slightly different. The highest Tc yield of 1,728.84 ± 50.37 mg/l was achieved on day 27. The Tc yield achieved here is greater than twice the highest yield reported previously, the sole reported taxoid production yield above the gram per liter level. Given the pharmaceutical importance of taxoids, the results of this study will greatly contribute to the potential industrial production of Tc and other taxoids by plant cell cultures.     

Elicitation of galanthamine biosynthesis by Leucojum aestivum liquid shoot cultures

The effects of methyl jasmonate and jasmonic acid on galanthamine production, phenolic acid content and growth of Leucojum aestivum L. shoot culture, cultivated in submerged conditions were investigated. The best time-point for addition of elicitors was during the exponential phase of the culture growth. The maximal contents of galanthamine and lycorine (226.9 μg/flask and 491.4 μg/flask, 1.36 and 1.67-fold higher compared to the control, respectively) were achieved after elicitation with jasmonic acid, whereas the elicitation with methyl jasmonte resulted in maximal accumulation of phenolic acids. It was demonstrated that the boosting effect of jasmonic acid on Amaryllidacea alkaloid biosynthesis was due to induction of the activity of tyrosine decarboxylase, whereas methyl jasmonate stimulates the biosynthesis of phenolic acids by inducing mainly the activity of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase.     

High stilbenes accumulation in root cultures of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Cayratia trifolia</Emphasis> (L.) Domin grown in shake flasks

The Root cultures of Cayratia trifolia (Vitaceae) a tropical lianas, were maintained in liquid Murashige and Skoog’s medium containing 0.5 mg l⁻¹ NAA, 0.1 mg l⁻¹ kinetin with 3% sucrose. These root cultures when grown with 6% sucrose accumulated stilbenes (piceid, resveratrol, viniferin, ampelopsin) in high amounts, which on elicitation by 500 mg l⁻¹ yeast extract, 50 μM salicylic acid (SA), 50 μM methyl jasmonate (MeJa), 500 μM ethrel added at 25th day, increased up to ninefolds (7.1 mg l⁻¹). Addition of alar or phenylalanine along with the elicitors further enhanced the stilbenes content. In the present study, stilbenes accumulation up to 12 folds (9.2 mg l⁻¹) was obtained with SA and alar. The SA was the most effective in increasing the stilbenes contents while less than control values were recorded in the cells treated with MeJa. The roots could be grown up to 2 l flasks. The present work demonstrates that presence of precursor and sucrose during elicitation at an appropriate time combined with growth retardation significantly increased the production of stilbenes in C. trifolia cell cultures.

Enhanced production of phytoestrogenic isoflavones from hairy root cultures of Psoralea corylifolia L. Using elicitation and precursor feeding

The effect of biotic elicitors (yeast extract, chitosan), signaling molecule (salicylic acid), and polyamines (putrescine and spermidine) was studied with respect to isoflavones accumulation in hairy root cultures of Psoralea corylifolia L. Untreated hairy roots (control) accumulated 1.55% dry wt of daidzein and 0.19% dry wt of genistein. In precursor feeding experiment, phenylalanine at 2 mM concentration led to 1.3 fold higher production of daidzein (1.91% dry wt) and genistein (0.27% dry wt). In biotic elicitors, chitosan (2 mg/L) was found to be the most efficient elicitor to induce daidzein (2.78% dry wt) and genistein (0.279% dry wt) levels in hairy roots. Salicylic acid at 1 mM concentration stimulated the maximum accumulation of daidzein (2.2% dry wt) and genistein (0.228% dry wt) 2 days after elicitation. In case of polyamines, putrescine (50 mM) resulted in highest accumulation of daidzein (3.01% dry wt) and genistein (0.227% dry wt) after 5 days of addition. Present results indicated the effectiveness of elicitation and precursor feeding on isoflavones accumulation in hairy roots of P. corylifolia. This is the first report of elicitation on isoflavones production by hairy roots of P. corylifolia.     

Effect of elicitors on the production of gossypol and methylated gossypol in cotton hairy roots

The effect of two chemical elicitors, salicylic acid and methyl jasmonate, on the production of gossypol, 6-methoxygossypol, and 6,6′-dimethoxygossypol in Gossypium barbadense hairy roots was examined. Methyl jasmonate, but not salicylic acid, was found to increase the production of gossypol and its methylated forms, but with a concomitant reduction in culture growth. The optimal methyl jasmonate dose was between 100 and 300 μM for hairy roots harvested 7 days after elicitation. After 20 d of induction with 100 μM methyl jasmonate, an eightfold increase in the level of gossypol was observed in elicited cultures compared with control cultures, double the highest gossypol levels previously reported for any cotton tissue. A two to threefold increase in the level of 6-methoxygossypol and a slight increase in the levels of 6,6′-dimethoxygossypol were also observed. Although methyl jasmonate stimulated the production of both optical forms of gossypol, the distribution of the enantiomers was different between elicited and control cultures.     

The effects of jasmonic acid and methyl jasmonate on rosmarinic acid production in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Mentha</Emphasis> × <Emphasis Type="Italic">piperita</Emphasis> cell suspension cultures

The effects of two elicitors: jasmonic acid and methyl jasmonate on cell growth as well as on rosmarinic acid accumulation in cell suspension cultures of Mentha × piperita were investigated. The highest rosmarinic acid accumulation 117.95 mg g⁻¹ DW (12% DW) was measured 24 h after addition of 100 μM methyl jasmonate. A similar concentration 110.12 mg g⁻¹ DW was detected 48 h after application of 200 μM jasmonic acid. Those values were nearly 1.5 times higher compared to the control sample, without elicitation. There was no substantial influence of elicitors on rosmarinic acid secretion into the culture media. Extracellular concentrations of rosmarinic acid were similar to the values from the control variants. It was documented that suspension cultures of M. piperita treated with elicitors showed a decrease in biomass accumulation when compared to the control.     

Optimized production of isoflavones in cell cultures of Psoralea corylifolia L. Using elicitation and precursor feeding

The effect of biotic elicitors (yeast extract, chitosan), signaling molecule (salicylic acid), and polyamines (putrescine and spermidine) was studied with respect to isoflavones accumulation in cell suspension cultures of corylifolia L. Untreated cell suspension (control) accumulated 1.66% dry wt of daidzein and 0.165% dry wt of genistein. In precursor feeding experiment, phenylalanine at 0.5 mM concentration led to 1.3 fold higher production of daidzein (1.99% dry wt) and genistein (0.22% dry wt). In biotic elicitors, yeast extract (100 mg/L) was found to be the most efficient elicitor to induce higher production levels of daidzein (2.21% dry wt) and genistein (0.293% dry wt) in suspension cultures. Salicylic acid (signaling molecule) at 1 mM concentration stimulated the maximum accumulation of daidzein (3.4% dry wt) and genistein (0.41% dry wt) 2 days after elicitation. In case of polyamines, spermidine (100 mM) resulted in highest accumulation of daidzein (3.2% dry wt) and genistein (0.475% dry wt) after 7 days of addition, which was 2.4 fold of that in control. This is the first report on kinetics of isoflavone production in response to elicitation in cell suspension of P. corylifolia.     

Enhanced accumulation of decursin and decursinol angelate in root cultures and intact roots of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Angelica gigas</Emphasis> Nakai following elicitation

Angelica gigas root cultures were elicited with various elicitors, including yeast extract, chitin, methyl jasmonate, salicylic acid, and copper, with the aim of increasing the production of decursin and decursinol angelate. The treatment of A. gigas root cultures with a combination of yeast extract (2 g l⁻¹) and copper ion (0.5 mM) at the late exponential growth phase increased decursinol angelate accumulation up to 6.86 mg l⁻¹. The best elicitor preparation selected through in vitro experiments was also applied to roots of A. gigas whole plants grown in the field in order to investigate the potential of elicitation as a novel cultivation practice for producing medicinal herbs of improved quality. Biweekly treatments with the elicitor at 70 mg g l⁻¹ FW roots for 10 weeks before the annual harvest resulted in an increment in both plant yields and specific productivity of decursins by 1.5- and 1.7-fold, respectively. This result implies that in vitro screening of elicitors with the ultimate aim of in planta elicitation of whole plants could be effective in terms of time and expense. The elicitation technique reported here demonstrates it potential as a strategy for improving growth and active compounds productivity of medicinal plants through short-term and pre-harvest treatment of the elicitor preparation.     

Enhanced glucotropaeolin production in hairy root cultures of Tropaeolum majus L. by combining elicitation and precursor feeding

We have studied the effects of precursor amino acids (phenylalanine and cystein), elicitors (salicylic and acetylsalicylic acids, methyl jasmonate, β-aminobutyric acid, yeast extract), PAL-inhibitor (1-amino-2-phenylethylphosphonic acid) applied alone or in combination on glucotropaeolin production and myrosinase activity in hairy root cultures of Tropaeolum majus. Short, 24-h treatment, and subsequent transfer of hairy roots to the fresh medium enabled avoiding detrimental effect of studied stimulators on biomass growth. In control cultures the highest glucotropaeolin content, 58.1 ± 6.7 mg g⁻¹ DW, was detected on the 3rd day after transfer of the roots to the fresh medium but glucotropaeolin yield (mg 100 ml^–1 culture volume) had been increasing until the 9th day after transfer as a result of continuous biomass growth. Glucotropaeolin content and yield were 2-fold enhanced after treatment with precursor amino acids or PAL-inhibitor alone, but their combination additively led to 4-fold increase in glucotropaeolin production. Among the studied elicitors acetylsalicylic acid induced the highest, 3-fold increase in glucotropaeolin production, it also enhanced myrosinase activity, but to a smaller extend (by about 50%). Acetylsalicylic acid also potentiated induced by precursors, PAL-inhibitor, methyl jasmonate and yeast extract production of glucotropaeolin. The highest, 4.8-fold increase in glucotropaeolin production was found after combined acetylsalicylic acid and precursors treatment. Additive effect of acetylsalicylic acid-combined treatment on myrosinase activity was not detected. The obtained results indicate that amino acid precursors, phenylalanine and cystein, availability may be a limiting factor in the process of stimulation of glucotropaeolin production in T. majus hairy root cultures.     

Elicitation of anthocyanin production in cell cultures of carrot (Daucus carota L) by using elicitors and abiotic stress

Summary A cell line of carrot (Daucus carota L) which produces anthocyanin was subjected to various elicitors and abiotic stresses: The elicitors tested were culture filtrates (CF) and cell extracts (CE) of certain bacteria and yeasts. The abiotic stresses were salts of certain metal ions. The production increase obtained with cell extracts of Bacillus cereus. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus were 49, 72, 45 and 41% respectively over the control. Maximum elicitation was obtained with elicitor derived from cell extract of the yeast Rhodotorula rubra where it enhanced anthocyanin production by two fold. The abiotic stress agents Ca, Mn, Zn, Co, Fe & V enhanced anthocyanin production. Of all the metal ions tested Ca was the most effective. The elicitation process was governed by the type and level of elicitor.     

10-Hydroxycamptothecin produced by a new endophytic <Emphasis Type="Italic">Xylaria</Emphasis> sp., M20, from <Emphasis Type="Italic">Camptotheca acuminata</Emphasis>

A new 10-hydroxycamptothecin (HCPT)-producing fungus was isolated from Camptotheca acuminata. The strain was classified as a Xylaria sp. based on the internal transcribed spacer and 18S rDNA gene analysis. All elicitors tested, except methyl jasmonate, increased HCPT production in submerged culture. The maximum yield was 5.4 mg HCPT/l⁻¹, when salicylic acid was added at 0.1 mM to the culture medium
