“…It has also been reported that the production of secondary metabolites in plants can be stimulated by exposure to heavy metals [ 60 ]. In addition, Berula erecta has shown potential for phytoremediation of arsenic, lead and selenium in the past [ 21 , 22 , 61 ]. Therefore, it would be suitable to test the elicitation of chlorogenic acid in a tissue culture of Berula erecta with heavy metals in the future.…”

Chlorogenic acid is one of the most prominent bioactive phenolic acids with great pharmacological, cosmetic and nutritional value. The potential of Berula erecta in tissue culture was investigated for the production of chlorogenic acid and its elicitation combined with light of different wavelengths and low temperature. The content of chlorogenic acid in the samples was determined by HPLC-UV, while the content of total phenolic compounds and the antioxidant activity of their ethanol extracts were evaluated spectrophotometrically. The highest fresh and dry biomasses were obtained in plants grown at 23 °C. This is the first study in which chlorogenic acid has been identified and quantified in Berula erecta. The highest chlorogenic acid content was 4.049 mg/g DW. It was determined in a culture grown for 28 days after the beginning of the experiment at 12 °C and under blue light. The latter also contained the highest content of total phenolic compounds, and its extracts showed the highest antioxidant activity. Berula erecta could, potentially, be suitable for the in vitro production of chlorogenic acid, although many other studies should be conducted before implementation on an industrial scale.

“…Berula erecta (Huds.) Coville is a fast-growing species that occurs in various freshwater habitats and is a sub-cosmopolitan species distributed in the Northern Hemisphere [ 21 ]. Berula erecta is also a fast clonally growing species, in a tissue culture system, on a simple growth medium, without growth regulators.…”
