巴西鳶尾(Neomarica gracilis)之試管內實生苗,於含有MS為基本鹽類添加30 g/l蔗糖、0.5 mg/l BA、0.84 mg/l NAA、0.1 mg/l 2,4-D之液態培養基中,可誘得生長快速的根莖組織,再以此根莖組織為培植體,繼代培養於相同培養基,平均每30天其組織之鮮重增加率可達4倍。 根莖組織分別繼代培養於含不同濃度茉莉酸(jasmonic acid)、苯丙胺酸(l-phenylalanine)及酵母萃取物(yeast extract)之修飾過MS液態培養基中,以探討培養基中添加有機物對於巴西鳶尾根莖組織之抗氧化力、總黃酮及鳶尾異黃酮含量之影響。在含不同濃度酵母萃取物之修飾過MS液態培養基中,可增加根莖組織之自由基清除能力(radical scavenging activity)。添加100 ~ 400 mg/l的酵母萃取物培養之根莖組織甲醇萃取液,當系統濃度為5 mg DW /ml時,其自由基清除能力可達到90 %。而在含不同濃度苯丙胺酸(l-phenylalanine)之修飾過MS液態培養基中,可促進總黃酮(total flavonoid)及鳶尾異黃酮(tectorigenin)在根莖組織中的累積量。其中以添加300 mg/l苯丙胺酸之MS修飾過液態培養基,根莖組織之甲醇萃取液的總黃酮量達到最高(1.059 % DW)。在鳶尾異黃酮方面,則以根莖組織培養於MS為基本鹽類添加200 mg/l苯丙胺酸之液態培養基,根莖組織之甲醇萃取液的鳶尾異黃酮達到最高(0.00427 % DW)。而田間種植的巴西鳶尾根莖無法測出鳶尾異黃酮含量。
Rhizomes were induced from in vitro seedlings of Neomarica gracilis cultured in MS basal medium contained with 30 g/l sucrose, 0.5 mg/l BA, 0.84 mg/l NAA and 0.1 mg/l 2,4-D. Fast growing tissue obtained from the rhizome tissues were subcultured in the same liquid medium and the multiplication of rhizome tissues were 4-fold after 30 days culture. The influence of jasmonic acid, l-phenylalanine and yeast extract addition on the radical scavenging activity, total flavonoid amount and tectorigenin accumulation in rhizome tissues were investigated. The radical scavenging activity under system concentration 5 mg DW/ml can increase to 90 % in methanol extract from rhizome tissues subcultured in MS basal medium contained with 30 g/l sucrose, 0.5 mg/l BA, 0.84 mg/l NAA, 0.1 mg/l 2,4-D and yeast extract (100 ~ 400 mg/l). The total flavonoid amount and tectorigenin accumulation in cell increased in methanol extract from rhizome tissues subcultured in MS basal medium contained l-phenylalanine. The maximum total flavonoid reached 1.059 % DW, when rhizome tissues subcultured in MS basal medium contained with 30 g/l sucrose, 0.5 mg/l BA, 0.84 mg/l NAA, 0.1 mg/l 2,4-D and 300 mg/l l-phenylalanine. The rhizome tissues subcultured in MS basal medium contained with 30 g/l sucrose, 0.5 mg/l BA, 0.84 mg/l NAA, 0.1 mg/l 2,4-D and 200 mg/l l-phenylalanine has the highest tectorigenin content (0.00427 % DW). The rhizome of Neomarica gracilis planted in field is unable to measure the tectorigenin.
