Suspension-cultured cells of Solanum lycopersicum cv Micro-Tom were used to evaluate the effect of methyl jasmonate and cyclodextrins, separately or in combination, on the induction of defense responses. An extracellular accumulation of two sterols (isofucosterol and β-sitosterol) and taraxasterol, a common tomato fruit cuticular triterpene, were observed. Their levels were higher in Micro-Tom tomato suspension cultured cells elicited with cyclodextrins than in control and methyl jasmonate-treated cells. Also, their accumulation profiles during the cell growth phase were markedly different. The most striking feature in response to cyclodextrin treatments was the observed enhancement of taraxasterol accumulation. Likewise, the exogenous application of methyl jasmonate and cyclodextrins induced the accumulation of pathogenesis-related proteins. Analysis of the extracellular proteome showed the presence of amino acid sequences homologous to pathogenesis-related 1 and 5 proteins, a cationic peroxidase and a biotic cell death-associated protein, which suggests that methyl jasmonate and cyclodextrins could play a role in mediating defense-related gene product expression in S. lycopersicum cv Micro-Tom.
