Effect of elicited by methyl jasmonate on the saponin contents of Codonopsis lanceolata

Abstract

The roots of Codonopsis lanceolata (Campanulaceae) contain several kinds of triterpenoid saponin with high medicinal values, which have been used in traditional medicines. This study investigates the impacts of methyl jasmonate (MeJA) -adding time on the saponin synthesis and the hairy root growth of C. lanceolata. A significant decrease in major saponin (lancemaside of three kinds) content of hairy roots was observed with MeJA treatments. Contents of lancemaside A, B and E decreased about 15% more than non-treated hairy roots. In contrast, minor saponin (foetidissimoside A and aster saponin Hb) accumulation was about 15% higher than the non-treated hairy roots. These results suggest that MeJA treatment could be used in the production of teriterpene saponins.

“…최근에 MeJA를 elicitor로 처리하여 다양한 이차대사 산물의 합성 및 생산을 효율화 한 연구들이 다양하게 보고되 고 있다. MeJA를 처리한 결과 주목의 paclitaxel 합성이 촉진 되었고 (Yukimune et al 1996;Ketchum et al 1999), 인삼 부정 근의 ginsenoside (Kim et al 2004;Choi et al 2005;Kim et al 2007; Kim et al 2009) 및 더덕 모상근의 사포닌 함량이 증가 하였다 (Kim et al 2015). Elicitation은 목적하는 성분 함량을 식물체내에서 증대시키기 위한 방법으로서 인간의 질병 예 방과 건강유지에 중요한 기능성 물질을 대상으로 주로 적용 되어 왔다.…”
