## 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
The factors in the inoculum conditions that influence the growth rate of hairy roots of Cutharunthus roseus in liquid culture were investigated in a randomized two-level, threefactor statistical design. The three variables were the number of root tips, the length of root tips, and the initial volume
Cultures of C. roseus transgenic (''hairy'') root clones LBE-6-1 and LBE-4-2 were adapted with periodic daily illumination to investigate the effect of light on growth and nutrient utilization, and the accumulation of the indole alkaloids. Light-adapted roots appeared green and had radially thickene
Catharanthus roseus hairy root cultures, genetically transformed with Agrobacterium rhizogenes, produce a wide variety of indole alkaloids. The effect of sucrose, phosphate, nitrate, and ammonia concentrations on growth and indole alkaloid production of C. roseus hairy root cultures were studied by
The kinetics of growth, the uptake of macronutrients, and the accumulation of indole alkaloids were investigated in long-term, heterotrophically cultured transgenic (''hairy'') roots of Catharanthus roseus. Tabersonine, ajmalicine, and serpentine were monitored over a 70-day period. The doubling tim
