Abstract:
Object To investigate the effects of fungal elicitors derived from the fungi Fusarium solani and Aspergillum niger on the accumulation of indole alkaloids in Catharanthus roseus calli. Methods The total indole alkaloid was extracted after the calli were treated with fungal elicitors. Then, the determination of ajmalicine and catharanthine was carried out by RP HPLC. Results The two fungal elicitors stimulate the accumulation not only the total indole alkaloid but the ajmalicine and catharanthine. The optimal exposure time of the two fungal elicitors for different kinds of indole alkaloid was investigated. Conclusion The two fungal elicitors have obvious effect on the accumulation of indole alkaloid in C. roseus calli.
