abstract
The cultivated grapevine V. vinifera is a rich source of stilbene compounds such as resveratrol, which are widely believed to provide dietary protection against the development of cardiovascular disease and some forms of cancer. Elicitation is a well-known strategy to increase commercial production of natural products in plant cell suspension culture systems. Callus tissues obtained from berry slices of V. vinifera cv. Shahani grown on an optimized medium were used to develop cell suspension cultures used to study the effects of elicitation on stilbene synthesis. The effect of two light regimes (135.1 μmol. s-1 m-2 radiation, and dark), the concentration of phenylalanine (Phe; 0, 0.1, 0.5 and 1 mM) and of methyl jasmonate elicitor (MeJA; 0 and 25 μM), alone or in combination, were tested. The results showed that cultures grown in darkness resulted in significantly higher levels of the accumulation of total stilbenes (resveratrol + piceid) compared with the high light condition. The combined treatments of dark +1 mM Phe and dark +25 μM MeJA induced the synthesis of high levels of total phenolics, total flavonoids and total stilbenes. Finally, the combined elicitation of dark +1 mM Phe + 25 μM MeJA gave the highest synergistic coefficient (1.24) and proved to be the most effective treatment for the production of total phenolics, total flavonoids, and total stilbenes with mean contents of 384.80 mg GA/g DW, 527.62 mg catechin/g DW and 188.34 μg/g DW, respectively. The results of our study suggest that the combinations of dark together with MeJA and/or Phe can be used as an efficient method for the future scale-up of V. vinifera cell cultures for the production of high value stilbene compounds in a bioreactor system.Copyright © 2019 Elsevier B.V.
