Changes in extracellular, cellular, and subcellular proteins during abscisic acid and low temperature induced cold hardening of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L. cv. Wisconsin 22C) cell suspension cultures were investigated by sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Extracellular proteins from 4- to 6-day-old ABA and low temperature grown alfalfa cells showed decreased electrophoretic mobilities, lacked a 190-kDa glycoprotein, and had reduced amounts of four other polypeptides. In total cell protein analyses, a 42-kDa protein was enriched in both ABA and low temperature treated alfalfa cells. Several proteins increased or induced by exogenous ABA treatment were identified in the extracellular (12.5 and 13 to 15 kDa), total cell and cell wall (24 kDa), and soluble (20, 37, and 41 kDa) fractions. However, no major protein changes were resolved by one-dimensional electrophoretic analyses of crude membrane proteins.

The highest dicentrine content (19.5 ± 0.3 mg/g dry weight) from callus culture of Stephania venosa was achieved from stem segments cultured on MS medium supplemented with TDZ 0.5 mg/L and NAA 1.0 mg/L. Cell suspension cultures were established from callus cultured on MS liquid medium with the same plant growth regulators. Dicentrine production from S. venosa cell suspension cultures was obtained in the range of 15–26 mg/g dry weight. Elicitation in cell suspension cultures by chitosan (50 mg/L) and salicylic acid (2 mg/L) for 6 days significantly increased dicentrine content. Our findings indicate that callus and cell suspension cultures of S. venosa can produce high levels of dicentrine as an alternative source of plant materials.

AbstractArtemisinin, a sesquiterpene lactone endoperoxide derived from Artemisia annua L., is the most effective antimalarial drug. In an effort to increase the artemisinin production, abscisic acid (ABA) with different concentrations (1, 10 and 100 µM) was tested by treating A. annua plants. As a result, the artemisinin content in ABA-treated plants was significantly increased. Especially, artemisinin content in plants treated by 10 µM ABA was 65% higher than that in the control plants, up to an average of 1.84% dry weight. Gene expression analysis showed that in both the ABA-treated plants and cell suspension cultures, HMGR, FPS, CYP71AV1 and CPR, the important genes in the artemisinin biosynthetic pathway, were significantly induced. While only a slight increase of ADS expression was observed in ABA-treated plants, no expression of ADS was detected in cell suspension cultures. This study suggests that there is probably a crosstalk between the ABA signaling pathway and artemisinin biosynthetic pathway and that CYP71AV1, which was induced most significantly, may play a key regulatory role in the artemisinin biosynthetic pathway.
