The responses of anthocyanin-producing (violet) and non-producing (white) cells of Glehnia littoralis to radical generators were compared. Cell growth, anthocyanin content, phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) activity and furanocoumarin production were determined after treatment with H2O2, 2,2'-azobis(2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride (AAPH), X-ray and yeast extract, independently. AAPH and H2O2 repressed the growth of both violet and white cells, but violet cells grew better than white cells. On the other hand, the anthocyanin content in violet cells decreased. Neither X-ray nor yeast extract affected cell growth or pigment production. Treatment with H2O2, yeast extract, and X-ray, but not AAPH, induced PAL activity and furanocoumarin production in white cell cultures, whereas violet cell cultures did not produce furanocoumarin following any of the treatment employed.
