This study describes the effects of plant growth regulators, explants, and somatic embryogenesis on in vitro production of the steroidal sapogenin, diosgenin, in callus cultures of the Balanites aegyptiaca (L.) Del.(desert date). Root, shoot, hypocotyl, and epicotyl callus culture of B. aegyptiaca, were raised on MS basal media supplemented with various combinations of either 2,4-D and NAA alone, or with BAP. The diosgenin content (on a dry weight basis) was found to be highest when calli were cultured in MS basal medium supplemented with 1.0 mg l−1 2,4-D alone and/or in combination with 0.5 mg l−1 BAP. However, the callus growth was highest in media supplemented with 2.5 or 3.0 mg l−1 2,4-D. MS basal media supplemented with 2,4-D 2.5 mg l−1 alone and in combination with 0.5 mg l−1 BAP induced pre-embryogenic callus formation on root cultures. When these pre-embryogenic callus cultures were used to establish cell suspension cultures, two growth densities were obtained in embryogenic suspension cultures, inducing clusters of somatic embryos at various stages of development. The maximum number of somatic embryos were obtained at the fifth week on the medium supplemented with 1.0 mg l−1 2,4-D. However, the diosgenin content in these somatic cells was found to be lower compared to the explant calluses. This study revealed that production of diosgenin in callus cultures of B. aegyptiaca is possible, but the amount is significantly affected by the growth regulators, type of explants, and somatic embryogenesis.

Cell growth and flavonoid production in cell suspension cultures of Glycyrrhiza inflata Batal were investigated under various initial inoculum densities, and sucrose and nitrogen concentrations to develop an optimization method for an improved flavonoid production. Both biomass accumulation and flavonoid production exhibited an “S” curve in one culture cycle, with the greatest value obtained on day 21, which showed that cell growth and fl avonoid biosynthesis went along isochronously. Moreover, according to the biomass and flavonoid production, the appreciate inoculum density, and the sucrose and nitrogen concentrations were 50 g FW L-1, 50 g L-1 and 120 mmol L-1, respectively. In addition, cell growth and flavonoid production showed a peak of 16.4 g DW L-1 and 95.7 mg L-1 on day 21 under the optimizing conditions, respectively. The flavonoid productivity of the cells which were cultured for 3 years is higher than that of the 3-year-old plant, which suggested that flavonoid production by cell cultures of G. inflata is a potentially profitable method. Therefore, this work is considered to be helpful for efficient large-scale bioprocessing of cell cultures in bioreactors.
