Abstract: | Anthocyanin from grape cell cultures can be used as a natural alternative to synthetic dyes; particularly due to their reported health-promoting properties. In this study, production of anthocyanin in cell suspension culture of Vitis vinifera was evaluated following treatment with either ethephon and/or pulsed electric fields (PEF). Overall, total production of anthocyanin increased in treated cells compared to untreated cells. Treatment of cell suspension with PEF at day 14 of culture resulted in 1.7-fold increase (1.42 mg/g DW) in anthocyanin content when compared to control cells; while, treatment with ethephon resulted in 2.3-fold increase (1.99 mg/g DW) in anthocyanin content. When cells were treated with both ethephon and PEF, 2.5-fold increase in anthocyanin content (2.2 mg/g DW) was observed. These findings demonstrate that PEF induces a defense response in plant cells, and it may also alter the dielectric properties of cells and/or cell membranes, and would serve as a viable elicitor of secondary metabolites in plant cell cultures. |
