Lithospermum erythrorhizon | the used cell line is induced from the root of Lithospermum erythrorhizon plants, cell line 622-46. A 4fold enhancement of shikonin (secondary metabolite) production is observable after a gamma radiation at the callus at 16 Gy. When the activity of p-hydroxybenzoic acid geranyltransferase is high with low activity of p-hydroxylbenzoic acid glucosyltransferase, the process of shikonin biosynthesis is boosted. |
