“…Several applications using potato suspension cells have been reported for studies of plant stress responses. For example, leaf-derived potato suspension cells were used to study resistance to osmotic stress (Sabbah and Tal, 1990) and to measure accumulation of phytoalexins (Brindle et al, 1983), biosynthesis of oxylipins (Stumpe et al, 2001), nitric oxide and ROS production (Sapko et al, 2011), and expression of defense-related genes (Monjil et al, 2014). Most notably, exposure of suspension cells established from potato leaf protoplasts to cutin monomers induces alkalinization, production of ethylene, and transcriptional up-regulation of the defense-related genes (Schweizer et al, 1996).…”
