Abstract:
Objective: To establish the plant tissue culture system of Cistanche tubulosa, and determine the effect of drought stress on accumulation of two respective phenylethanoid glycosides in it. Methods The major chemical constituents of C. tubulosa by tissue culture were analyzed by HPLC-UV and HR-MS. The cell growth curves were also determined. In addition, the effects of drought stress on the phenylethanoid glycosides (echinacoside and acteoside) content in the tissue culture system of C. tubulosa were also studied by using NaCl, mannitol and PEG6000 as osmotic regulators, respectively. Results:Chemical constituents analyses revealed that callus and suspension cultures of C. tubulosa could produce the respective phenylethanoid glycosides of echinacoside and acteoside as in wild plant; Cell growth curves indicated that 30 d were the optimum culture period of callus culture; The cell growth rate and the accumulation of echinacoside and acteoside were mostly inhibited when the callus cells were under drought stress induced by NaCl or mannitol. Meanwhile, the accumulation of echinacoside and acteoside in cell suspension culture of C. tubulosa could be effectively enhanced by treatment with PEG6000. The maximum biomass of echinacoside and acteoside could reach to (1.07 ± 0.10) g/L and (0.12 ± 0.01) g/L 15 d after induction, respectively. And their contents were 20.94% and 2.27% separately based on the cell dry weight (DW) after 15 d of treatment with 6% PEG6000, which were 1.29 and 1.19 fold higher than the control group. Conclusion:Drought stress induced by PEG6000 could effectively enhance the accumulation of echinacoside and acteoside in cell suspension culture of C. tubulosa.
