Resumen:
In cell suspensions, anthraquinones (AQs)
production is induced by elicitors such as chitosan. This defense
response also includes generation of reactive oxygen species
(ROS) and cell death. It has been recently showed that chitosan
induction of anthraquinone synthesis in involves the
stimulation of PLC, intracellular Ca mobilization and PI3K,
which mediatesMAPKactivation. In the present work we study the
relationship between elicitation, oxidative burst and cell death.
Elicitation with chitosan (200 mg/l) stimulates AQs synthesis in
L. cultures at 24 and 48 hr. An increase in H O
production at 6 and 24 hr was observed and correlated with higher
levels of cell death.Addition of chitosan and diphenylene iodonium
(DPI), an inhibitor of H O generation, resulted in a decrease in cell
death andH O production. In both treatments similar levels ofAQs
accumulation were observed. In cultures treated with chitosan and
lanthanum chloride, an intracellular calcium channel blocker, cell
death and AQs production decreased showing that both processes
require an increase in cytosolic calcium levels. The relationship
between elicitation andROSgeneration is under study.
