Quantitative determination of cultured strawberry-cell heterogeneity by image analysis: effects of medium modification on anthocyanin accumulation

Effect of salicylic acid and methyl jasmonate in the production of phenolic compounds in plant cell suspension cultures of Thevetia peruviana

“…Additionally, MeJA significantly decreased the accumulation of biomass of T. peruviana in both times, 24 h ( p value = 0.0116) and 96 h post-elicitation ( p value = 0.0153). The inhibiting effect of MeJA on the biomass accumulation was also reported in cell suspension cultures of Taxus [ 30 ] and strawberries [ 31 ]. Two independent studies showed that MeJA inhibits the mitotic cycle in plant cells, halting them in G1-phase before the transition to S-phase.…”

Resveratrol production at large scale using plant cell suspensions

“…MeJA also induced accumulation of the caffeic acid ester, rosmarinic acid studied for its potent effects on Alzheimer's disease in Coleus blumei cultures and ginsenosides with beneficial effect in cancer, immune deficiency, and aging, in gingseng ( Panax gingseng ) cultures . MeJA is also able to induce anthocyanin biosynthesis in strawberry cell suspensions as well as in grapevine . Below will be described some applications of the use of MeJA as an inducer of resveratrol bioproduction in various plant cell culture systems alone or in combination with cyclodextrins (CDs).…”

Induction of sesquiterpenes, phytoesterols and extracellular pathogenesis-related proteins in elicited cell cultures of Capsicum annuum

“…Numerous authors have shown that jasmonates also trigger the accumulation of secondary metabolites in cell suspensions, e.g. paclitaxel in Taxus cell cultures (Yukimune et al, 1996), rosmarinic acid in Coleus blumei cultures (Szabo et al, 1999), ginsenosides in Panax ginseng cultures and anthocyanins in strawberry (Miyanaga et al, 2000) and grapevine cell cultures (Qu et al, 2006). In Capsicum annuum suspension cell cultures (SCCs), only one compound of a sesquiterpene nature, capsidiol, which has antifungal and antimicrobial activities (De Marino et al, 2006), is synthesized in response to cellulase and MJ (Ma, 2008).…”
