  • Title: Differential secretion and accumulation of terpene indole alkaloids in hairy roots of Catharanthus roseus treated with methyl jasmonate.
    Author: Ruiz-May E, Galaz-Avalos RM, Loyola-Vargas VM.
    Journal: Mol Biotechnol; 2009 Mar; 41(3):278-85. PubMed ID: 18841500.
    Abstract:
    The induction of several secondary metabolites in plants is one of the most commonly observed effects after the external addition of methyl jasmonate (MeJA). After the elicitation of Catharanthus roseus hairy roots with different concentrations of MeJA, changes in the accumulation of alkaloids such as ajmalicine, serpentine, ajmaline and catharanthine were observed. In addition to the increased accumulation of alkaloids in the tissues, the root exudation of phytochemicals increased compared to that of the non-treated control hairy roots. Moreover, MeJA induced differential secretion of several C. roseus hairy root metabolites.
