Abstract
The effects of methyl jasmonate (MeJA) on isoprenoid production were evaluated in cultured tissues of Scoparia dulcis. It was found that MeJA suppressed the accumulation of chlorophylls, carotenoids, phytol and β-sitosterol in the tissues. MeJA, however, remarkably enhanced the production of scopadulcic acid B (SDB) , with 10 μM being optimal observed concentration for stimulation of SDB production. The maximum concentration of SDB was observed 6 d after MeJA treatment. © 2005 Pharmaceutical Society of Japan.
