以田間白花蛇舌草(Hedyotis diffusa willd.)莖段為培植體建立無菌培養系統,利用再生植株之莖頂為培植體,可誘導出白色鬆軟癒合組織,白色癒合組織繼代至含0.002 mgl-1 thidiazuron培養基中,可產生綠色緊實之胚性癒合組織,將胚性癒合組織繼代至不含生長調節劑之MS培養基可再生大量小植株。以白色癒合組織建立細胞懸浮培養,每個月繼代一次進行細胞增殖,白色的懸浮細胞逐漸轉成綠色懸浮細胞。分析不同來源之癒合組織及細胞,以懸浮培養之綠色細胞中齊墩果酸與熊果酸含量較高。細胞不同接種量進行生長曲線測試,結果以2 g/ 10 ml medium之接種量培養12天,細胞鮮重可增加2.2倍為最佳。為促進細胞中齊墩果酸與熊果酸之產量,以此接種量搭配不同培養因子、誘引劑及前驅物處理,培養週期為12天,培養基中提高蔗糖濃度至50 gl-1時,細胞中齊墩果酸與熊果酸含量增加為1017±167 μg/g DW,或者添加低濃度50 mgl-1果膠累積也可達1356±83 μg/g DW,所有處理以添加12 mgl-1 methyl jasmonate累積量最高,齊墩果酸及熊果酸含量1591±206 μg/g DW,為不加誘引劑累積量的3倍。
The stem of Hedyotis diffusa willd was used as explant to establish the in vitro culture system. For callus induction, shoot tips from regenerated plantlet were cultured on modified MS medium and the white friable callus proliferated from shoot tips. The green embryogenic callus formed when white callus were subcultured on MS medium supplemented with 0.002 mgl-1 thidiazuron. Plantlets regenerated when embryogenic callus was subcultured on MS medium without plant growth regulator. For cell suspention culture system, the white callus was cultured in modified MS medium and subcultured every month. The content of oleanolic and ursolic acid of four kinds of callus (white callus、green callus、white suspention cell and green suspention cell) were examined by high performance liquid chromatography. The green cell has the highest content of oleanolic and ursolic acid (538±77 μg/g DW) and the growth index of green cell line ( inoculum : 2 g/10 ml ) was 2.2 times within 12 days. In order to enhance the accumulation of oleanolic and ursolic acid in cell, cell was cultured in MS medium with different culture factor and precursor elicitor. The highest content of oleanolic and ursolic acid ( 1591±206 μg/g DW) in cell was shown when cell cultured in MS medium added with 12 mgl-1 methyl jasmonate after 12 days. The production of oleanolic and ursolic acid in cell was also promoted when medium added 50 gl-1 sucrose ( 1017±167 μg/g DW) or 50 mgl-1 pectin supplemented(1356 ±83 μg/g DW).
