Salycilic Acid Induces Exudation of Crocin and Phenolics in Saffron Suspension-Cultured Cells

Plants (2020)

Azar Moradi Fatemeh Zarinkamar Stefania De Domenico Giovanni Mita Gian Pietro Di Sansebastiano

The production of crocin, an uncommon and valuable apocarotenoid with strong biological activity, was obtained in a cell suspension culture of saffron (Crocus sativus L.) established from style-derived calli to obtain an in-vitro system for metabolite production. Salycilic acid (SA) was used at different concentrations to elicit metabolite production, and its effect was analyzed after a 4 days of treatment. HPLC-DAD analysis was used for total crocin quantification while the Folin-Ciocâlteu method was applied for phenolic compounds (PC) content. Interestingly, despite cell growth inhibition, a considerable exudation was observed when the highest SA concentration was applied, leading to a 7-fold enhanced production of crocin and a 4-fold increase of phenolics compared to mock cells. The maximum antioxidant activity of cell extracts was evidenced after SA 0.1 mM elicitation. Water-soluble extracts of saffron cells at concentrations of 1, 0.5, and 0.1 µg mL-1 showed significant inhibitory effects on MDA-MB-231 cancer cell viability. The heterologous vacuolar markers RFP-SYP51, GFPgl133Chi, and AleuRFP, were transiently expressed in protoplasts derived from the saffron cell suspensions, revealing that SA application caused a rapid stress effect, leading to cell death. Cell suspension elicitation with SA on the 7th day of the cell growth cycle and 24 h harvest time was optimized to exploit these cells for the highest increase of metabolite production in saffron cells.

Limonene synthase gene expression under different concentrations of manganese in Cuminum cyminum L.

African Journal of Plant Science (2012)

Fatemeh Zarinkamar

Semi-quantiative real time polymerase chain reaction (SQ-RT-PCR) was applied to study Limonene synthase (LS) gene expression pattern and the response to different concentrations of manganese in different organs of cumin (Cuminum cyminum L.). The results revealed that the gene was expressed in very small (< 2 mm) and small (3-4 mm) flowers and also in shoots, while it was not expressed in roots, leaves, medium (4-5 mm) and larger flowers. The highest level of gene expression was observed in shoot and very small flowers. Partial sequencing of LS gene in cumin revealed 68-88% identical to that of some other plants. To determine the effect of manganese on LS gene expression, the plants were exposed to different concentrations of manganese (0, 40, 80 and 160 ppm) as spray by applying two methods: T1- Alternatively spraying at late vegetative stage besides blooming; T2- Spraying only at blooming. LS gene expression was increased considerably under 80 ppm concentration of Mn at blooming and reduced remarkably under 40 ppm in both methods and at 160 ppm in T1 method in comparison with controls. Anatomical studies indicated that essential oil ducts were located not only in the fruits tissue but also in the shoot surprisingly. Overall, results of this research reveal limonene synthase gene expression in cumin for the first time. In addition, use of 80 ppm of Mn at blooming can be considered as optimum concentration to increase LS gene expression. Existence of oil ducts on the shoot of this plant is a remarkable finding for further studies. Key words: Cuminum cyminum L., Limonene synthase gene, manganese.
