چکیده

Changes in phenolic metabolism after elicitation with Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (CG) has been studied in Hypericum perforatum L. (HP) cell suspension cultures. Soluble phenolics were analysed by HPLC-DAD and HPLC-DAD-MS/MS. HP cultures elicited with the CG elicitor showed a significant increase in xanthone accumulation. Xanthone accumulation increased twelve fold when the cells were primed with methyl-jasmonate (MeJ) or salicylic acid (SA), before elicitation. HP cultures exposed only to MeJ produced a set of flavonoids, the flavones which represent a substantial part (approx. 40%) of the total flavonoids accumulated in these cells. The possible importance of xanthones as a component of defence mechanism of HP against biotic stress is discussed.

In vitro shoot Proliferation of Hypericum perforatum L. through Indirect and Direct Plant Regeneration

Hypericum perforatum L. (St. Johns’ wort) is the most commercially important species of the genus Hypericum and contains a wide range of components including naphthodianthrones, phloroglucinols, tannins, xanthones, phenolic acids and essential oil. In order to establish an efficient protocol for regeneration, the effects of explant type and plant growth regulators on direct and indirect shoot r...

Metabolic Profile and Root Development of Hypericum perforatum L. In vitro Roots under Stress Conditions Due to Chitosan Treatment and Culture Time

The responses of Hypericum perforatum root cultures to chitosan elicitation had been investigated through (1)H-NMR-based metabolomics associated with morpho-anatomical analyses. The root metabolome was influenced by two factors, i.e., time of culture (associated with biomass growth and related "overcrowding stress") and chitosan elicitation. ANOVA simultaneous component analysis (ASCA) modeling...

Phenolic Acids and Flavonoids in Hypericum Perforatum L. Hairy Roots

Investigations have been made to develop an efficient protocol for identification and quantification of phenolic acids and flavonoids in hairy roots (HR) of Hypericum perforatum L. HR were induced from root segments of in vitro grown seedlings from H. perforatum, after co-cultivation with Agrobacterium rhizogenes A4. Transgenic status of HR was confirmed by PCR analysis using rolB specific prim...

Pretreatment with salicylic acid and nitric oxide alleviates silver nanoparticles toxicity in medicinal Hypericum perforatum plants

Since the use of seed priming agents to reduce the potential toxicity of AgNPs has not been explored, we evaluated the combined effects of 0.1 mM salicylic acid (SA) and 0.1 mM nitric oxide (NO) on responses of Hypericum perforatum plants to Ag-induced stress. The results of growth parameters together with measurement of malondialdehyde (MDA) revealed that exposure to AgNPs or AgNO3 caused more...

Optimization of extraction procedure and determination by high performance liquid chromatography of flavonols and phenolic acids from Hypericum Perforatum L

Hypericum perforatum is a medicinal plant which has been known in traditional medicine as an antiinflammatory and healing agent. Nowadays the use of Hypericum extracts is concerned mainly with antidepressive applications. In the present work, HPLC – RPC18 column chromatography with photodiode array detection was applied for the determination of the derivatives of cinnamic and benzoic acid (e.g....
