Production of the benzophenanthridine alkaloids in Eschscholtzia californica suspension cell cultures was optimized by adding 0.5 mg methyl jasmonate (MJ) and 0.02 mg salicylic acid (SA)/g FCW after 7 days cultivation. Sanguinarine reached 24 mg/g DCW by such treatment; 10 times higher than in control cell cultures. MJ and SA induced expression of berberine bridge enzyme and 3'-hydroxy-(S)-N-methylcoclaurine-4'-O-methyltransferase, respectively. MJ plus SA induced over-expression of both enzymes.
