Stimulated Accumulation of Lectin mRNA and Stress Response in Helianthus tuberosus Callus by Methyl Jasmonate

抄録

  Callus from Helianthus tuberosus expresses a mannose-specific lectin (HTA). The level of HTA mRNA significantly increased one hour after treatment of the callus with 20 mg/l methyl jasmonate. Following this, fragmentation of the callus DNA at regular intervals was observed together with strong self-fluorescence emission in the callus cells.
