Elicitation of Stilbenes and Benzofuran Derivatives in Hairy Root Cultures of White Mulberry (Morus alba).

ABSTRACT: Stilbene and benzofuran derivatives isolated from the root of white mulberry (Morus alba) have shown various biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties. The objectives of this study were to develop hairy root cultures and assess the effect of multiple elicitors combinations including (I) methyl-β-cyclodextrin (CD), MgCl₂, methyl jasmonate (MeJA), and H₂O₂, (II) CD, MgCl₂, and MeJA and (III) CD, MgCl_2, and H₂O₂, on the production of these bioactive compounds. The highest yields of stilbenes and benzofurans were obtained upon co-treatment with 18 g/L CD, 3 mM H₂O₂ and 1 mM MgCl₂. The stilbenes oxyresveratrol, resveratrol, and
