INDUCTION OF STRESS METABOLITE FORMATION IN SUSPENSION CULTURES OF VIGNA ANGULARIS

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0031-9422(83)80235-0

Three isoflavone glucosides were isolated from cell suspension cultures of red bean (Vigna angularis) treated with actinomycin D and identified as daidzin, daidzein 7,4'-di-O-β-D-glucoside, and a new compound, 2'-hydroxydaidzein 7,4'-di-O-β-D-glucoside.These compounds were also accompanied by a new lignan, (+)-(1R,2S,5R,6S)-2,6-di(4'-hydroxyphenyl)-3,7-dioxabicyclo(3,3,0)octane. - Key Words: Vigna angularis; Leguminosae; red bean; lignan; isoflavone glucoside; stress metabolite; cell suspension culture; induction; actinomycin D.
