## Abstract Nitric oxide (NO) is known as a signaling molecule involved in elicitorβinduced 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
In cell suspension cultures of Catharanthus roseus a rapid accumulation of secondary compounds (tryptamine, indole alkaloids, phenolics) was observed after transfer of the cells into special 'induction'-media devoid of phosphate and other essential growth factors [11,14]. The increase of product lev
