Method to increase the yield of products in plant material

摘要

A method to increase the production of products of interest in plant material including plant cultures, such as, for example, cell suspension cultures, root cultures, and hairy root cultures is provided. In one embodiment, the method is to contacting the plant material with a precursor or xenobiotic when producing a product of interest from a plant. In another embodiment the plant material is also contacted with a trapping agent. The process may also provide for contacting an elicitor of the product of interest with the plant material. An embodiment provides for contacting an elicitor, precursor and trapping agent with the plant material. The ability to produce novel compounds such as glucosides and glucuronides is provided.

1. A method of increasing the production of a prenylated stilbenoid from hairy root culture material through biosynthesis, the method comprising:
contacting the hairy root culture material capable of producing the prenylated stilbenoid with a precursor of the prenylated stilbenoid; thereby producing an increased amount of the prenylated stilbenoid compared to the method in which the precursor is not contacted with the hairy root culture material; and wherein the precursor comprises piceatannol and further comprising contacting the hairy root culture material with methyl jasmonate and piceatannol.
