## 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
Batch shake flask studies with Catharanthus roseus demonstrated that alkaloid production commenced only after growth had slowed or ceased. To obtain high alkaloid productivities for extended periods, a hormone-free production medium was used. To develop a readily scalable process, both immobilized a
