In order to improve anthocyanin production, effects of fungal elicitation in hairy root culture were investigated. fungal elicitor prepared from Fusarium moniliforme was the best in enhancement of anthocyanin production among the eight fungal elicitors tested. The optimum treat-ment time and concentration of treated elicitor for anthocyanin production were 12 hours and 3.28 mg carbohydrates per liter medium. Also, fungal elicitor was treated to hairy root culture in flat-bottomed fluidized-bed bioreactor. The anthocyanin production of elicited culture was enhanced 227% than non-treated.

A transformed hairy root clone of Scutellaria baicalensis was established following infection with Agrobacterium rhizogenes ATCC15834. Three root clones of S baicalensis were selected by growth habit and baicalin content. The most active strain-the SR-03 clone-was examined for its growth and baicalin content under various culture conditions. The root growth and baicalin content were maximized in a Schenk and Hildebrandt medium supplemented with 4 and 6% sucrose, respectively. The accumulation of baicalin in transformed hairy roots was enhanced through exposure to various elicitors. Elicitation was attained by the addition of methyl jasmonate, salicylic acid, and various concentrations of fungal cell wall elicitors to the medium. The accumulation of baicalin in the elicited cultures ranged from 10.5 to 18.3 mg/g dry weight of the roots, which was 1.5- to 3-fold the amount attained in controls.

Linum album accumulates anti-tumor podophyllotoxin (PTOX) and its related lignans, which were originally isolated from an endangered species Podophyllum. In the present study, we examined the effects of five fungal extracts on the production of lignans in L. album cell cultures. Fusarium graminearum extract induced the highest increase of PTOX [$143{\mu}g\;g^{-1}$ dry weight (DW) of the L. album cell culture], while Rhizopus stolonifer extract enhanced the accumulation of lariciresinol up to $364{\mu}g\;g^{-1}$ DW, instead of PTOX. Typical elicitors, such as chitin, chitosan, or methyl jasmonate (MeJA), were shown to be less effective in lignan production in L. album cell cultures. These results verified the advantages of fungal extracts to increase lignan production in L. album cell culture, and suggested potential on-demand metabolic engineering of lignan biosynthesis using differential fungal extracts.

미치광이풀의 모상근 뱌양에 의해 의학적으로 중요한 물질인 scopolamine과 hyoscyamine 생산을 증진시키기 위해 3종의 곰팡이와 1종의 효모 유래의 생물학적 elicitor를 supernatant와 homogenate의 형태로 처리하였다. Elicitor 중 Candida albicans는 supernatant와 homogenate 모두 scopolamine 생산성을 증가시켰다. Fusarium solani의 homogenate와 C. albicans의 supernatant 처리로 hyoscyamine 함량이 증가되었다. 그러나 나머지 fungus strain도 대조구에 비해 tropane alkaloids의 생산을 다소 증가시켰다. 본 연구에서는 C. albicans가 tropane alkaloids 생산에 적합한 elicitor임으로 구명되었다. 본 연구 결과는 미치광이풀 모상근 대량배양에 의한 tropane alklaoids 대량생산에 기여할 것이다.

Glabridin is a well-known active isoflavone found in the root of licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra L.) that possess a wide range of biological activity. Plant cells, hairy roots, and fungal endophytes cultures are the most important alternative methods for plant resources conservation and sustainable production of natural compounds, which has received much attention in recent decades. In the present study, an efficient culture condition was optimized for the biomass accumulation and glabridin production from fungal endophyte Aspergillus eucalypticola SBU-11AE isolated from licorice root. Type of culture medium, range of pH, and licorice root extract (as an elicitor) were tested. The results showed that the highest and lowest biomass production was observed on PCB medium (6.43 ± 0.32 g/l) and peptone malt (5.85 + 0.11 g/l), respectively. The medium culture PCB was produced the highest level of glabridin (7.26 ± 0.44 mg/l), while the lowest level (4.47 ± 0.02 mg/l) was obtained from the medium peptone malt. The highest biomass (8.51 ± 0.43 g/l) and glabridin (8.30 ± 0.51 mg/l) production were observed from the PCB medium adjusted with pH = 6, while the lowest value of both traits was obtained from the same medium with pH = 7. The highest production of total glabridin (10.85 ± 0.84 mg/l) was also obtained from the culture medium treated with 100 mg/l of the plant root extract. This information can be interestingly used for the commercialization of glabridin production for further industrial applications.

Forest tree species usually takes for long periods to be harvested and cultivated but spearmints are a good model system for woody plant because of reducing and shortening cultivation time. Spearmints are good model plants (Mentha species) for research about terpenoids production and industrial essential oil manufacture. Isopentenyl pyrophosphate isomerase (Iso) and limonene synthase (Limo) are the key enzymes of terpenoid biosynthesis pathway. Transgenic and wild spearmints (Mentha spicata, MS) were cultured in vitro and assessed for the essential oil contents. The content of essential oil of transgenic spearmint also was enhanced slightly depending on the target terpenoid genes. In an attempt to increase productivity of terpenoids further, salt and fungal elicitation strategy was adopted on transgenic Mentha spicata. The salt (800 mM NaCl) as abiotic and two fungi (Botrytis cinerea and Glomerella cingulata) as biotic were used for elicitors. In the absence of salt stress four terpenoids were detected from the spearmint extracts, all of them being monoterpenes. On the other hand, the transgenic (MSIso) extracts contained eleven terpenoids (10 monoterpenes and 1 phenylpropene) while transgenic (MSLimo) extracts contained seven monoterpenes. After 3 days of fungal infection, the resistance indices further increased to 4.38, 3.89 and 2.04 for wild type, MSIso and MSLimo, respectively. The salt and fungal elicitators proved beneficial towards modifying both the terpenoids profile and improvement in the composition of essential oil. These results have important applications for the large-scale production of essential oils and forest biotechnology with respect to spearmint.

Hyoscyamine and scopolamine are the pharmaceutically valuable anticholinergic drugs. The aim of our study is to increase the contents of both hyoscyamine and scopolamine by means of elicitation. Various biotic elicitors derived from 3 fungi and 1 yeast were inoculated to the hairy root cultures. When homogenate and supernatant of elicitors treated with hairy root cultures, that of yeast elicitor was only increased scopolamine production. However, all of the fungal elicitors did not influenced the productions of scopolamine and hyoscyamine. Our results will contribute to mass production of tropane alkaloids by hairy root cultures of Scopolia parviflora.

Rhizoctonia solani 추출물(elicitor)을 Hyoscyamus muticus 모상근배양에 처리하였을 때 sesquiterpene cyclase (SC)가 유도됨과 동시에 sesquiterpene화합물이 합성되어 배양액속에 축적하는 것으로 나타났다. 24시간 배양기간 동안 배양액으로부터 sesquiterpene을 추출ㆍ분리하여 배양할 경우, 추출ㆍ분리하지 않은 모상근배양보다 거의 두배의 함량이 생성되었다. Cyclase monoclonal antibody을 이용하여 immunoblot을 시도한 결과, 추출한 모상근배양과 추출하지 많은 모상근배양에서의 SC 절대량은 동일한 것으로 나타났으며, 효소활성도 현저한 차이가 없는 것으로 측정되었다. 이러한 결과는 terpenoid pathway에서 sesquiterpene 생합성이 이용가능한 기질의 량에 의해 조절되는 것으로 사료되며, feedback 조절은 sesquiterpene cyclase 효소에 앞서 일어나는 것으로 추정된다.
