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悬浮培养的檀香细胞，并对培养物中有机溶剂抽提物的变化进行了定性和定量研究。由此可以推测檀香的心材特有香气成分及其相关化合物的产生。鉴定了一些可以稳定诱导细胞死亡的处理，但是这些处理都没有引起目标物质的产生。在某些条件下，观察到未知化合物的处理特异性升高，其似乎与目标物质无关。

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.
