Pinoresinol and matairesinol accumulation in a Forsythia x intermedia cell suspension culture
2002
Schmitt, J. | Petersen, M.
A newly established Forsythia x intermedia cell suspension culture was shown to accumulate (+)- and (-)-pinoresinol as well as matairesinol. The influence of the sucrose content of the culture medium and of the cultivation time on pinoresinol and matairesinol accumulation was evaluated. The highest pinoresinol yield was achieved from cells grown in medium containing 6% sucrose for 12 +/- 2 days with levels of 0.6-0.8 mg g-1 dry weight and an average enantiomeric composition of 75 +/- 5% (+)-pinoresinol. The highest matairesinol amount was reached in the same medium at the 14th +/- 2 culture day with levels of 1.0-2.7 mg g-1 dry weight. To our knowledge, this is the first report on pinoresinol accumulation in Forsythia intermedia plants or cell suspension cultures.
