Plants are an important source of secondary metabolites, which are a valuable natural substance used in many fields. One way to increase their production is by the elicitation method. In this paper the effect of abiotic elicitor methylviologene in three different concentrations was studied on the rutin production in callus and suspension culture of Fagopyrum esculentum Moench variety Spačinki. The cultivation was carried out on Murashige and Skoog nutrient medium with the addition of a 1 mg/l 2,4- dichlorophenoxyacetic acid as growth regulator. Samples were taken at regular time intervals after 6, 12, 24, 48, 72 and 168 hours of elicitation. The rutin content was analyzed by HPLC. The maximum rutin production (0.3 mg/g DW) was recorded in the callus culture after 48 hours of methylviologene treatment at a concentration of 2.1929.10-4 mol/l. No increase in rutin content after methylviologene elicitation was observed in the suspension culture. The study also included monitoring of the rutin release into nutrient medium, but this was not demonstrated.
