Plants that synthesize bioactive compounds that have high antioxidant value and elicitation offer a reliable in vitro technique to produce important nutraceutical compounds. The objective of this study is to promote the biosynthesis of these phenolic compounds on a large scale using elicitors in date palm cell suspension culture. Elicitors such as pectin, yeast extract (YE), salicylic acid (SA), cadmium chloride (CdCl2), and silver nitrate (AgNO3) at 50, 100, and 200 mg/L concentrations are used. The effects of elicitors on cell culture were determined in terms of biomass [packed cell volume (PCV), fresh and dry weight], antioxidant activity, and phenolic compounds (catechin, caffeic acid, kaempferol, apigenin) were determined using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Results revealed that enhanced PCV (12.3%), total phenolic content [317.9 ± 28.7 mg gallic acid equivalents (GAE)/100 g of dry weight (DW)], and radical scavenging activity (86.0 ± 4.5%) were obtained in the 50 mg/L SA treated cell culture of Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium. The accumulation of optimum catechin (26.6 ± 1.3 µg/g DW), caffeic acid (31.4 ± 3.8 µg/g DW), and kaempferol (13.6 ± 1.6 µg/g DW) was found in the 50 mg/L SA-treated culture when compared to the control. These outcomes could be of great importance in the nutraceutical and agronomic industries.

ABSTRACT Date palm accumulates a wide range of secondary metabolites high in nutritional and therapeutic value. In the present study, date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L., cv. Shaishi) shoot-tip-induced callus was used to establish cell suspension cultures in Murashige and Skoog (MS) liquid medium containing 1.5 mg L-1 2-isopentenyladenine (2iP) and 10 mg L-1 naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). To study the growth kinetics, cultures were maintained for 12 weeks during which weekly measurements were carried out to determine the biomass accumulation based on packed cell volume (%), fresh weight and dry weight (g). In addition, weekly determination of polyphenols (catechin, caffeic acid, kaempferol, and apigenin) was carried out using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The 11-week-old culture was found highest in the production of biomass (62.9 g L-1 fresh weight and 7.6 g L-1 dry weight) and polyphenols (catechin-155.9 µg L-1, caffeic acid-162.7 µg L-1, kaempferol-89.7 µg L-1, and apigenin-242.7 µg L-1) from the cell suspension cultures. This is the first report on the production of polyphenols from the cell suspension culture of date palm. This study facilitates further development of large-scale production of polyphenols and the utilization of bioreactors.

Dracocephalum moldavica L. (Lamiaceae) is known for its medicinal properties, however greater yields can potentially be achieved by in vitro cultivation. A cell suspension culture of D. moldavica L. (Lamiaceae) derived from root-derived callus was established in liquid MS medium supplemented with 2,4-D 0.5 mg/l and BAP 0.2 mg/l. The biomass and rosmarinic acid (RA) content were analyzed during the 15-day growth cycle of the culture. The highest fresh and dry weight (14.29 g/flask and 1.14 g/flask, respectively) and RA level (27.2 mg/g DW) were reached at day 12 of culture. Methanolic extracts of the culture were assayed for total phenolic content using the Folin-Ciocalteau method, and antioxidant activities using three in vitro tests: ABTS radical scavenging, ferric ion reduction (FRAP) and lipid peroxidation (LPO). RA content and antioxidant potential were found to be higher in cell suspension culture than in root-derived callus. The cell suspension culture also exhibited higher concentrations of RA and ABTS radical scavenging activity than those of the aerial parts of six-month-old field-grown plants of D. moldavica. The overall results show a significant correlation between antioxidant activity, total phenolic content and RA content of the examined extracts. The study presents for the first time the use of cell cultures of D. moldavica for production of therapeutically-valuable metabolites. Our results suggest that the obtained culture could be considered as a potential source of rosmarinic acid, a compound known for its strong antioxidant activity.

Ruta graveolens, locally called sodab or sadab, is a known medicinal plant in north of Iran. The plant is a source for the production of secondary metabolites such as Glycosides, lignins, alkaloids, Coumarins, flavonoids and phenolic acids. In this work, the effect of salicylic acid on phenols and flavonoids contents of R. graveolens were investigated in the cell suspension culture. A significant enhancement in total phenolic and flavonoids contents were observed in salicylic acid treated samples. The results revealed that salicylic acid (10 mg/ml) showed as maximum as 3.14 fold enhancement in total flavonoid content (40.35 mg/g) and salicylic acid (20 mg quercetin equivalent/g of extract powder) showed as maximum as 18.33 fold improvement in total phenolic content (438.75 mg gallic acid equivalent/g of extract powder). Also in this study, salicylic acid (10 mg/ml) showed as maximum as 3.55 fold increase in DPPH radical-scavenging activity compared to control. These results suggest that the positive effect of salicylic acid on phenols and flavonoids content and DPPH scavenging activity in cell suspension culture. This effect was dose dependent.

Abstract By repeated selection of pigment portions of tissue the red callus induced from root seed­lings of Penstemon serrulatus Menz. was chosen for suspension culture, which was maintained in Schenk and Hildebrandt medium supplemented with naphthaleneacetic acid (0.2 mg/l), 6-benzylaminopurine (2 mg/l) and sucrose (50 g/l). From the cultured cells eight phenolic compounds were isolated. They were identified as cyanidin 3-O-glucoside, delphinidin 3-O-glucoside, luteolin, luteolin 7-O-glucoside, norartocarpetin 7-O-glucoside, verbascoside, martynoside and leucosceptoside A. The kind of cell line, its age and light irradiation were important factors in flavonoid production, but production of phenylpropanoid glycosides was found to be unaffected by these factors. The phenolic composition found in the cell culture was compared with those in the flowers and leaves of original plants of P. serrulatus.

Abstract Objectives Sweetpotato leaf (SPL) is a natural source of phenolic compounds with potential utility as an antioxidant. The study aimed to measure the impacts of the years on SPL total phenolic content and antioxidant capacity and to identify and quantify the individual phenolic compounds. Methods Sweetpotato leaves in 2018 (27 varieties) and 2019 (24 varieties) were grinded and lyophilized. Phenolic compounds were extracted with 70% ethanol from SPLs. Total phenolic content was determined by Folin-Ciocalteu method and antioxidant potential was determined by DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging assay. Five SPL samples with statistically highest antioxidant capacity were identified and quantified by HPLC. All statistical analyses were carried out by SAS software using ANOVA. Statistical significance was accepted at P < 0.05. Results The average of total phenolic contents in 2018 SPL samples was 43 ± 13 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/g dry weight (DW) SPL whereas in 2019, it was 53 ± 9 mg GAE/g dry weight SPL. Antioxidant capacity in 2018 was 110 ± 75 µmol Trolox equivalent (TE)/g dry weight SPL whereas in 2019, it was 132 ± 32 µmol TE/g dry weight SPL. SPL1 had the highest antioxidant potential, followed by SPL9, SPL3, SPL28, and SPL11 (P < 0.05). The concentrations of major identified phenolics from the five SPL samples (#1, 9, 3, 28, and 11) in dry weight of SPL were: chlorogenic acid at 3.05 ± 0.35 mg/g, 5-monocaffeoylquinic acid (CQA) at 0.71 ± 0.06 mg chlorogenic acid equivalent (ChAE)/g, 4-CQA at 0.99 ± 0.07 mg ChAE/g, 3,4-diCQA at 1.22 ± 0.18 mg ChAE/g, 3,4,5-triCQA at 1.2 ± 0.18 mg ChAE/g, and 3,5-diCQA at 15.5 ± 4.05 mg ChAE/g. 3,5-diCQA, the predominant phenolic, was present in the highest amounts in SPL1. Conclusions The results showed that sweetpotato leaves collected in 2019 contained higher total phenolics and antioxidant capacity than the ones collected in 2018. Phenolic compounds have strong antioxidant activity in Arkansas-grown sweetpotato leaves. This study warrants further investigation of sweetpotato leaves to be utilized as an antioxidant. Funding Sources The work was supported by USDA-NIFA.

The aim of our study was to investigate the presence and quantitative contents of lignans in the tissues of <em>Taxus</em> ×<em>media</em>. The presence of the lignans: pinoresinol, matairesinol and secoisolariciresinol was assessed in needles, shoots cultures and suspension culture. Pinoresinol was the only lignan found in the tissue of <em>T.</em> ×<em>media</em>. The total pinoresinol content in the needles and in the shoots was 1.24 mg/g dry weight (dw) and 0.69 mg/g dw, respectively. Most of the pinoresinol identified was appeared glycosidically bound. In needles, the amount of glycosidically bound pinoresinol (0.81 mg/g dw) was about twice as high as that of free pinoresinol (0.43 mg/g dw). The content of free and glycosidically bound pinoresinol showed the level of 0.18 mg/g dw and 0.51 mg/g dw, respectively in the in vitro shoot cultures. In the cell culture, no pinoresinol was found.

Context: Tissue culture is an important tool in plant biotechnology that allows for an increase in biomass or metabolite production by utilizing several techniques in callus or cell cultures. Ricin is a toxic protein that can be extracted from the castor bean as secondary metabolite. The ricin has been used experimentally in medicine to kill cancer cell. We developed callus and cell culture technique for the possible extraction of ricin from the cell suspension culture of Ricinus communis. Objectives: The present investigation aimed to develop the cell culture technique of R. communis L. cv. Shabje and tried to establish a protocol for cell suspension culture of castor for possible extraction of ricin from cell extract. Materials and Methods: The hypocotyl explants of R. communis L. cv. Shabje were used as experimental materials. Cultured on Murashige and Skoog medium supplemented with different concentrations and combinations of BAP, NAA, 2,4-D and IAA for callus induction. For cell culture, the media were used without agar with different concentrations and combinations of these hormones. Results: For callus induction the combination of BAP 2.0 mg/l + 0.5 mg/l NAA showed the best performance but in case of cell culture the combination of BAP 2.0 mg/l and 0.2 mg/l NAA showed the best result. Conclusion: The present investigation clearly established and demonstrated the method of obtaining cell suspension culture and important secondary metabolite ricin could be obtained from cell suspension culture of R. communis L. holding promises to explore cell culture industry for ricin production.

Abstract Medicinal plants are an important therapeutic option for a large share of the world’s population. To establish an in vitro culture system for the production of secondary metabolites from Hovenia dulcis, we studied the effect of auxins, cytokinins, absence of light, and silver nitrate on the development of friable callus. Callus cultures were established for the first time and used to obtain cell suspension cultures. Supplementation with KIN (Kinetin) produced calli with both compact and friable areas, while the addition of TDZ (Thidiazuron) only produced compact callus. The maintenance of cultures in the dark induced a slight enhancement on friability when the auxin PIC (Picloram) was present in the culture medium. The addition of silver nitrate promoted the formation of friable calli. Dry weight analysis showed no significant differences in biomass growth, and, therefore, 2.0 mg.L-1 was considered the most suitable treatment. The presence of silver nitrate was not required for the establishment of cell suspension cultures. Dry weight analysis of cell suspensions showed higher biomass production in the absence of silver nitrate. PIC promoted 100% of cell suspension culture formation in the absence of silver nitrate, and higher biomass production was observed with the lowest concentration (0.625 mg.L-1). No morphological differences were observed among the different concentrations of PIC. Phytochemical screening showed the presence of saponins, flavonoids, flavonols and catechins in the extracts obtained from H. dulcis calli. These results show that the cell cultures herein established are potential sources for the production of H. dulcis secondary metabolites of medicinal interest.
