Elicitation of plumbagin by chitin and its release into the medium in Drosophyllum lusitanicum Link. suspension cultures

Polysaccharides (chitin/pectin) that are involved in the interactions between plants and microorganisms were applied to the cultured cells of Drosophyllum lusitanicum. In the case of chitin addition, elicitation and crystallization of plumbagin in the medium were observed. N-Acetylchitooligosacchari...
