Ceil suspension cultures of the Madagascan Periwinkle Catharanthus roseus (L) G. Don were maintained on Gamborg's B5 medium and their growth monitored by measuring cellular fresh and dry weight, ceil number and mitotic activity. Samples of cells of different ages and physiological states were subcul

Isolated vacuoles from ajmalicine-producing cell suspensions of Catharanthus roseus accumulated the alkaloid ajmalicine. Dissipation of the transtonoplast pH gradient with nigericin abolished ajmalicine accumulation, whereas dissipation of the transtonoplast potential with valinomycin had no effect.
When cell suspension cultures of Catharanthus roseus are treated with autoclaved elicitor from the fungus Pythium aphanidermatum, they respond with the rapid transient induction of tryptophan decarboxylase (TDC) and strictosidine synthase (SS) enzyme activities, followed by the accumulation of indol
