Establishment of a method for producing heartwood constituents through artificially-induced cell death in sandalwood cell cultures

用不同的细胞死亡诱导因子处理檀香悬浮培养细胞，定性和定量地研究了细胞死亡诱导因子对细胞有机溶剂抽提物的影响。有望生产出檀香木及其相关化合物的心材特有芳香成分。已经确定了一些可以稳定地诱导细胞死亡的处理方法，但这些处理方法都不会引起客观物质的产生。在某些条件下，观察到未知化合物的处理特异性升高，这似乎与客观物质无关。

Suspension cultured cells of sandalwood were treated with various cell death-inducing factors, and the resulting changes in organic solvent extractives of the cultures were qualitatively and quantitatively investigated. It was expected that the heartwood specific fragrant constituents of sandalwood and related compounds might be produced. Some treatments that can steadily induce cell death were identified, but none of such treatments evoked the production of the objective substances. Under some conditions treatment-specific elevation of unknown compounds was observed, which do not appear to be related to the objective substances.
