Abstract EN
Cell cultures of Psoralea corylifolia L.
were established from the leaf disk derived callus.
The effect of different biotic elicitors prepared from the fungal extract (Aspergillus niger and Penicillium notatum), yeast extract and chitosan with different concentrations was studied.
The increased synthesis of psoralen in 16-day old cell cultures under 16 h of light and 8 h of dark period was studied.
Elicitation of psoralen in A.
niger elicitor treated cells was found 9-fold higher over control cells.
Treating the cells with P.
notatum, yeast extract and chitosan elicitors lead to four to seven-fold higher psoralen accumulation over control cells.
The extract of A.
niger at 1.0% v/v increased the significant accumulation of psoralen (9850 lg/g DCW) in the cultured cells.
Our study clearly shows that all the elicitors had the potential to increase the accumulation of psoralen but the A.
niger elicitor at 1.0% v/v induced maximum accumulation.
