Charles University Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Pharmacognosy Student: Nikola Urbanová Supervisor: PharmDr. Marie Kašparová, Ph.D. Title of diploma thesis: The study of secondary metabolites in plant tissue cultures II The aim of this work was to determine the effect of the potential elicitor chitosan on production of podophyllotoxin in callus and suspension cultures of Juniperus virginiana Glauca variety and suspension cultures of Juniperus virginiana Hetzii variety. Schenk and Hildebrandt medium supplemented with α-naphtylacetic acid (3.0 mg/l), kinetin (0.2 mg/l) and ascorbic acid (15.0 mg/l) was used for the cultivation. Chitosan solutions of various concentrations (0.001; 0.01; 0.1; 1 g/100 ml) were affecting the cultures for 6, 24, 48 and 168 hours. The content of chitosan was determined by HPLC. Higher values of podophyllotoxin content were measured in cultures derived from the Glauca variety. The best chitosan effect on podophyllotoxin production was manifested in callus cultures after 24 hours application of 0.001 g/100ml concentration. A podophyllotoxin content of 0.210 % was determined, which was about 320 % higher in comparison with the control. The maximum content (0.140 %) in suspension culture was induced by 24-hours application of a 0.1 g/100 ml concentration;...
