Elicitors are compounds or factors capable of triggering a defense response in plants. This kind of response involves signal transduction pathways, second messengers and events such as Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) generation, proline accumulation and secondary metabolite production.

Cell suspension cultures of Taxus canadensis and Taxus cuspidata rapidly produced paclitaxel (Taxol) and other taxoids in response to elicitation with methyl jasmonate. By optimizing the concentration of the elicitor, and the timing of elicitation, we have achieved the most rapid accumulation of pac
The prevention of apoptosis by Zn 2 + is a well-known phenomenon. Both in in vitro and in vivo Zn 2 + supplementation prevents apoptosis induced by a variety of agents, among them by cadmium ions. The target for protective action of Zn ions on cell apoptosis is still unknown. In this paper we have e
The involvement of oxidative stress in the toxicity of chromium (VI) and chromium (111) has been proposed. We have therefore examined the effects of these cations on the production of superoxide anion, nitric oxide (NO), and DNA single strand breaks (SSB) in J774A.1 macrophage cells in culture as we
