AI Article Synopsis

  • The study focused on three cell lines from Saussurea medusa to assess their ability to produce jaceosidin and hispidulin, with the red cell line showing the highest yields of 75 mg/l and 6.4 mg/l, respectively.
  • Production levels were directly linked to the size of compact callus aggregates (CCAs) and the overall health of the cells.
  • The red cell line exhibited optimal CCAs of 2-4 mm in diameter, which constituted 64% of the biomass, and maintained good cell viability over 10 sub-cultures.

Article Abstract

Three previously established cell lines (yellow, red and white) of Saussurea medusa were investigated for jaceosidin and hispidulin production. Maximum yields of the jaceosidin and hispidulin were obtained in the red cell line at 75+/-0.41 and 6.4+/-0.31 mg l-1. Production of jaceosidin and hispidulin correlated with the sizes of compact callus aggregates (CCA) and cellular viability. In the red cell line, the sizes of CCA were predominantly of 2-4 mm diameter and accounted for 64% biomass. This line had a sustained cell viability over 10 successive sub-cultures.

Verticillium wilt, a significant pathogen affecting cotton, has historically been challenging to control, posing a substantial threat to the sustainable development of the cotton industry. This study demonstrates that resistance to Verticillium dahliae in cotton can be enhanced by treating the roots with an ethyl acetate extract (EAAA) extracted from Artemisia argyi. The mechanisms by which EAAA activates immunity in cotton were elucidated by examining the expression levels of resistance genes post-treatment, evaluating salicylic acid (SA) and jasmonic acid (JA) levels, analyzing transcriptome data, and employing virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) technology.
