Abstract
The effects of terpenoid precursor feeding and elicitation by a biotic elicitor on alkaloid production of Catharanthus roseus suspension cultures were studied. After addition of secologanin, loganin or loganic acid an increase in the accumulation of ajmalicine and strictosidine and a decrease of tryptamine level was observed in non-elicited cells. Elicitation increased tryptamine accumulation in non-fed cells but it did not further increase alkaloid accumulation in precursor-fed cells. A decrease of tryptamine level was also observed, despite the induction of the tryptamine pathway after elicitation. Feeding mevalonic acid did not increase alkaloid accumulation in any studied case.Entities:
