Rev. biol. trop; 63 (2), 2015
Cedrela odorata (Meliaceae) is a native timber tree to Tropical America, known for its high-quality wood, unfortunately, plantations of this species are severely attacked by Hypsipyla grandella. The attraction or repellency of this pest is related to secondary metabolites such as phenols and limonoids (t...

The effects of cadmium chloride on secondary metabolite production in Vitis vinifera cv. cell suspension cultures

Biol. Res; 47 (), 2014
BACKGROUND: Plant secondary metabolites are possess several biological activities such as anti-mutagenic, anti-carcinogenic, anti-aging, etc. Cell suspension culture is one of the most effective systems to produce secondary metabolites. It is possible to increase the phenolic compounds and tocopherols by...

Induction of secondary metabolite production by UV-C radiation in Vitis vinifera L. Öküzgözü callus cultures

Biol. Res; 47 (), 2014
BACKGROUND: The aim of the present work was to examine the role of UV-C irradiation on the production of secondary metabolites (total phenolic, total flavanols, total flavonols, catechin, ferulic acid and trans-resveratrol in phenolic compounds and α-, β-, γ- δ-tocopherols) in callus cultures.
