Nitrogen stress induction on Levisticum officinale hairy roots grown in darkness and under photoperiod conditions: effect on growth and volatile components

Abstract: Six-year-old Levisticum officinale (lovage) hairy root cultures were used to study the effect of eight different NH(4) (+):NO(3) (-) ratios on their growth and volatile components. All cultures were kept at 24 degrees C on orbital shakers at 80 rpm, in darkness or in a 16 h light/8 h dark photoperiod. Growth was evaluated by dry and fresh weight determination. The volatiles were isolated by distillation-extraction and analysed by GC and GC-MS. Greater growth was attained in darkness with 10:90 (control, SH med… Show more

“…The production of this compound by the hairy roots and not by the plant roots may reflect a stress defence mechanism induced by the in vitro growth conditions [18]. The differences seen in the present analysis when compared to the previous study on the constitutive volatiles of L. officinale hairy roots maintained in SH medium [13], such as higher n-octanal levels and the much lower β-phellandrene levels, can be partly explained by the fact that these are biological systems and, as mentioned by Costa et al [17], the use of different developmental hairy root stages and/or the type of inoculum (richer in meristematic zones, such as lateral branching roots) may explain slight differences in the growth of the roots that will be reflected in their secondary metabolite production capacity. Independently of the added substrate, be it geraniol or menthol, the constitutive volatiles of L. officinale hairy roots were always detected in variable amounts, together with the substrates and the corresponding biotransformation products, when produced.…”

“…1B. Despite some minor variations in growth due to possible different inocula developmental stages, the outline of the growth curves was identical to those previously obtained for hairy roots of the same species [13], [17]. Forty-one compounds were identified in the oils isolated from the control lovage hairy roots (constitutive components), which were maintained in SH medium in darkness for seven weeks.…”

“…These results are in agreement with those obtained previously by Santos et al (2002) with the same in vitro system, suggesting that A. graveolens hairy roots have a relatively stable production of volatile compounds, as the cultures have been maintained for over twelve years with a routine subculture every three weeks. The higher relative amount of fatty acids, found in the present study, when compared to that obtained by Santos et al (2002), may be due to the different culture medium used, which may alter the volatile composition as was found in L. officinale hairy roots (Costa et al 2008). …”
