Abstract

Plant growth regulators with the suitable concentrations had obvious effects on the accumulation of indole alkaloids in Catharanthusroseus cells. Four salicylic acid saccharide carboxylate derivatives were designed and synthesized as plant elicitors. The structures were confirmed and the accumulation effect was also evaluated. The results showed that it exhibited obvious effects on the accumulation of indole alkaloids, catharanthine and ajmalicine in Catharanthus roseus cells.

Keywords: Salicylate, catharanthus roseus cells, catharanthine, ajmalicine, saccharide carboxylate.
