Abstract
In this work, suspension-cultured cells of mung beans and safflower were used in order to analyze the effect of methyl jasmonate and/or cyclodextrins, on bioactive compound production such as phytosterols and tocopherols. The results indicated that mung bean suspension-cultured cells produced higher amount of total phytosterols and tocopherols. In particular, mung bean suspension-cultured cells produced almost 220-fold higher levels of tocopherols than safflower suspension-cultured cells in the best conditions. However, while cyclodextrins were able to enhance extracellular production of phytosterols, in the case of tocopherols, they only increased their intracellular accumulation. Our results showed that mung bean cells could be used as a highly efficient system for the production of phytosterols and tocopherols which have a wide range of biological activities.
