The effect of arsenic compounds on indole alkaloid production by cell suspension cultures of Catharanthus roseus was investigated. The analysis of indole alkaloids was achieved by using thermospray liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC MS) which facilitated the rapid screening of alkaloid comp
## Abstract __Catharanthus roseus__ cells suspended in production medium showed the presence of four __Aspidosperma__‐type alkaloids, however, no vindoline. Cells grown in media with the pH adjusted to 7.0 produced 3.3 mg total alkaloids/g dry weight. At pH 5.0, 1.7 mg of alkaloid/g dry weight was
Cathurunthus roseus cells were grown in the presence of arsenite, arsenate, methylarsonate and dimethylarsinate. Cell growth and arsenical uptake were monitored. Reduction of arsenate, methylation of arsenic and demethylation of methylarsenic species are described. Alkaloid production by the cells i
## Abstract Nitric oxide (NO) is known as a signaling molecule involved in elicitor‐induced defense responses of plants. Sodium nitroprusside (SNP), a donor of NO, stimulates catharanthine formation in Catharanthus roseus cells.1 Two important terpenoid indole alkaloids produced in small quantities
