Effects of Plant Elicitors on Growth and Gypenosides Biosynthesis in Cell Culture of Giao co lam (Gynostemma pentaphyllum)
Giao co lam (Gynostemma pentaphyllum (Thunb.) Makino) is used in Northeast and Southeast Asia countries for the treatment of various diseases, including hepatitis, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. G. pentaphyllum saponins (gypenosides) are the major components responsible for the pharmacological activities. In this study, different concentrations of abiotic (25–200 μM methyl jasmonate-MeJA and salicylic acid-SA) or biotic elicitors (1–5 g/L yeast…
