[The reactions in ginseng cells induced by elicitor derived from digesting ginseng cell walls by cellulase].
After treatment of the elicitor derived from digesting ginseng cell walls by cellulase, the starch grains were degraded, and a large number of spherosomes were produced in Ginseng cells. In the mean time, the activity of amylase in the cells was increased and the activities of esterases in the cells were reduced; in addition, the content of soluble sugar and the content of lipoid were increased. These indicate that the emergency reactions and the adjustment of metabolism of lipoid were taken placed in the cells elicited. Besides, after the treatment with certain concentrations of elicitor, the content of ginseng saponin and the activity of phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) were increased in ginseng cells. On the contrary, the activities of peroxidase (POD) and polyphenoloxidase (PPO) were reduced.
