The dose dependency showed that both organ tissues responded well to AsA supplied at concentrations of 10 - 40 mM. For induction of furanocoumarin production, roots required contact with AsA for at least 6 h and productivity markedly increased after 8 h of treatment. This is the first report of the induction of furanocoumarin biosynthesis by AsA alone and of the detection of furanocoumarin biosynthesis in a root culture system., Planta Medica, 74, pp.1517-1519; 2008}, pages = {1517--1519}, title = {Ascorbic acid induces furanocoumarin production in organ cultures of Glehnia littoralis.}, volume = {74}, year = {2008} }
