Abstract:
Objective: To investigate the effect of endophytic fungal elicitor on key enzyme activity, inducing pathway and mechanism involved in the secondary metabolites of Atractylodes lancea. Methods: NADPH oxidase, HMGR activities, the concentration of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and β-eudesmol were determined by the co-culture of endophytic fungal elicitor and A. lancea suspension cell. Results: NADPH oxidase activity was notably enhanced by Fusarium sp5 elicitor which could induce oxidative burst, significantly promote H2O2 accumulation, and activate HMGR in the sesquiterpenoids metabolic pathway. Compared with the control, the yield of β-eudesmol increased 257.6% and reached 66.59 μg/g. CAT and DPI could inhibit the HMGR activity and β-eudesmol biosynthesis in A. lancea cell induced by Fusarium sp5 elicitor. Exogenous H2O2 also induced HMGR and promoted the β-eudesmol biosynthesis. Conclusion: H2O2 is necessary to induce β-eudesmol synthetic signal molecule by activating the HMGR.
