Abstract-Plant tissue culture technique combined with elicitors is required to produce plant secondary metabolites. The results showed that both elicitors (methyl jasmonate and salicylic acid) could enhance the production of Stemona alkaloids in the Stemona sp. culture. Among these elicitors, salicylic acid was found to be the most effective elicitor. The plantlet which was elicited with 100 µM salicylic acid for 1 week showed an increase of 1′,2′-didehydrostemo-foline and stemofoline production at 1.69 fold and 1.61 fold higher than the control, respectively.
IndexTerms-1′,2′-didehydrostemofoline, stemofoline, methyl jasmonate, salicylic acid.
