Anthocyanin production in callus cultures of roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.)

Abstract: Callus tissues derived from seedlings of roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) were shown to produce two cyanidin glycosides as major anthocyanin pigments. Both callus growth and anthocyanin synthesis were remarkably stimulated by 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. The highest anthocyanin yield was observed when 1 μM 2,4-D in combination with 0.1-1 μM kinetin was supplemented to the culture medium. In contrast, gibberellic acid showed inhibitory effect on anthocyanin production.

“…The highest frequency of callusing (91.11%) was recorded when leaf explants were cultured on MS medium fortified with 4.0 mg l -1 2,4-D, followed by 3.0 mg l -1 (82.22%), which was statistically non-significant (P B 0.05). The frequency of callusing in petal explants was significantly lower (77.24%) at 4.0 mg l -1 2,4-D. A similar trend was observed in generation of callus biomass in Oxalis reclinata (Makunga et al 1997) and in Hibiscus sabdariffa (Mazukami et al 1988). The differential ability of the two explants to induce callus at the same 2,4-D concentration could have been due to different levels of endogenous auxins present in these explants.…”

“…The concentrations of ammonium used in the medium were essential to produce anthocyanins in the callus culture of strawberry (Fragaria ananassa cv Shikinari) (Fujita et al 1981a) and in cell suspension culture of grape (Meyer and Staden 1995;Ozeki and Komamine 1985;Yoshihiro and Atsushi 1985). In addition, the decrease of ammonium concentrations used in the medium was a key to produce shikonin in the callus and cell suspension cultures of L. erythrorhizon (Mizukami et al 1988). 2, 4-D was found to block anthocyanin formation completely in the carrot cell suspension culture (Meyer and Staden 1995) and inhibit anthocyanin formation in the callus culture of Oxalis linearis (Ozeki and Komamine 1986).…”

“…Because of their low toxicity, anthocyanins have a high potential as a food additive and marker, so many institutes and food manufacturers are engaged in intensive research to produce these pigments from various plant cell cultures: Euphorbia millii (Yamamoto et al 1982), Callistephus chinensis (Rau & Forkman 1986), sweet potato (Nozue et al 1987), Centaurea cyanus (Kakegawa et al 1987), Hibiscus sabdariffa (Mizukami et al 1988), Perilla frutescens (Zhong et al 1991), etc. Anthocyanins, however, usually accumulate only in small amounts in cultured plant cells and their production generally requires light irradiation.…”
