Abstract Seedling shoot and root callus of Vitis vinifera cv. Ribier (Pok Dum) growth MS medium supplemented with 6-Benzyladenine (BA) at 0.1 mg/L, sucrose 20 g/L and agar 8 g/L, were transferred into suspension culture. The biomass accumulation and secondary metabolites productions were observed in suspension culture with ammonium nirate (NH 4 NO 3 ) at difference concentration (500, 1,000, 5,000 and 10,000 mg/L). It was found that the greatest of dried biomass (0.433 g/L) was from V. vinifera suspension culture treated with NH 4 NO 3 500 mg/L for 21 days. Medium supplemented with NH 4 NO 3 5,000 mg/L resulted in the highest accumulation of phenolic contents which at 85.90 mg/100g DW. In addition, resveratrol concentration increased to maximum at 39.21 g/g DW in liquid medium supplemented with NH 4 NO 3 at 1,000 mg/L Keywords: Vitis vinifera, phenolics, resveratrol, suspension culture

Polyphenols are well-known as antioxidans, veinotonics and they may be determinant in the interest of fruit and vegetable consumption for prevention of chronic degenerative diseases, especially against atherosclerosis and concretization (Kris-Etherton et al., 2002; Scalbert and Williamson, 2000). Plant cell cultures are a means to study or to produce some active metabolites such as alkaloids, triterpenes, quinines or polyphenols (Oksman-Caldentey and Inze, 2004) Cell suspension culture cultures represent the best system of cultivation for producing secondary metabolites because fast growth rates can be achieved. Several biotechnological advances have been developed in tissue culture that improve secondary metabolite production such as optimization of cultural conditions, selection of high- producing strains of lines, precursor feeding, elicitation, metabolic engineering, transformed root cultures,

However, there are very few reports of using macro element to induce phenolic increment in vitro or medium culture, in this study we have investigated the affects of different concentration of nitrogen on cell suspension cultures of V. vinifera for biomass accumulation and phenolic production. Materials and Methods Plant material Seed was separated from Vitis vinifera cv. Ribier (Pok Dum) purchased from Talad Thai Market. Surface cleaning of grape seed was done by soaking in 75% alcohol for 30 s, then by 10% NaOCl for 10 min and 5% NaOCl for 15 min, followed by three sequential rinses for 5 min in sterile distilled water. The seed was subjected into solid Murashige and skoog (1962) medium (MS) and observed until root and shoot protuberance or emergence which was about 30 days. When shoot and root were 5-6 cm length, they were cut into 51 mm segments, and used as explants. The explant was sterile with 75% alcohol for 30 s, then in 10% NaOCl for 10 min and 5% NaOCl for 15 min, followed by three sequential rinses for 5 min in sterile distilled water, similar to surface cleaning of seed. The sterile pieces of shoot and root were subjected into MS medium for initiation to callus. Suspension culture MS basal medium containing 0.1 BA without agar was used for suspension culture. About 200 mg callus tissues was transferred from solidified medium into 150 conical flasks containing 50 ml of liquid medium. The cultures were incubated on a rotary shaker operated at 120 rpm. Macro element of cell culture To stimulate phenolic production from cell suspension, ammonium nitrate was tested. To investigate the effects of ammonium nitrate, cell were cultured in MS-based medium with ammonium nitrate at difference concentration (500, 1,000, 5,000, 10,000 mg/L). Cells were collected immediately (time 0) and at 7, 14, 21, 28 days after treatment. The harvested cells on the filter paper were used for determination of dry cell weight, phenolic content and resveratrol content. Parameters Analysis plant growth; the biomass = total fresh weight/initial volume (g/L) Analysis of chemical plant; phenolic content (measurement with UV-visible spectrophotometer), resveratrol content (measurement with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)) Results and Discussion The effect of different macro elements and its varying concentrations play an important role in the biomass accumulation and secondary metabolite production in the present study. The growth characteristics were examined during the 28 days of culturing using dry weights. The cell lines of V. vinifera were in lag phase for 7-14 days. Then, they were started to grow exponentially until reaching a stationary phase within 14-21 days, then a death phase due to consumption of the nutrients and lack of oxygen (Gueven and Knorr, 2011). Cell dried weight was enhanced with increase of initial NH 4 NO 3 from 500 and 1,000 mg/L. The highest of dried biomass from V. vinifera suspension culture after treated with NH 4 NO 3 500 mg/L and 1,000 mg/L (0.43 and 0.42 g/L, respectively) was reached at day 21 of incubation period (Figure 1). This is due to the uptake of ammonium and nitrate ions by the cells, essential for their growth (Gueven and Knorr, 2011). Phenolic contents were measured according to the Folin-Ciocaltue method, and expressed in gallic acid equivalents. The kinetics of phenolic contents production by the cell suspension culture was presented in Table 1. Phenolic contents began to increase rapidly during the early lag growth phase, reaching a maximum value at day 14 th
(85.90 mg/100g DW) after treated with ammonium nitrate 5,000 mg/L. The amounts of phenolic contents were . 42 2 () - 2554 251 increased by 53% in the cells suspension as compared with control cultures. HPLC determination of the resveratrol accumulation when treated with (0, 500, 1,000, 5,000 and 10,000 mg/L) was shown in Table 2. The contents of resveratrol increased with an increasing of NH 4 NO 3 level. The resveratrol concentration increased to maximum at day 21 th and then gradually decreased. The best results were achieved with 5,000 mg/L (39.21 g/g DW) at day 21 th of the culture duration. A relatively similar graduation was previously observed for the white mulberry (Lee et al., 2010). Nitrogen sources are important for secondary product synthesis of compounds such as alkaloids (Zhong, 2001), anthocyanins, and shikonin from cell suspension cultures (Kim and Chang, 1990). Summary In conclusion, our present study on cultures of cell suspensions of V. vinifera has shown that both the biomass and secondary metabolites accumulation were influenced by ammonium nitrate. The highest accumulation of biomass was recorded in the medium with NH 2 NO 3 500 mg/L and the highest production of phenolic contents was recorded in the medium with 5,000 mg/L. The highest resveratrol production of 39.21 g/g DW in liquid medium supplemented with NH 2 NO 3 at 1,000 mg/L.
