Substituted pyrazinecarboxamides as abiotic elicitors of flavonolignan production in Silybum marianum (L.) Gaertn cultures in vitro

Abstract

The effect of 2 compounds of pyrazinecarboxamide in 3 concentration and 6, 12, 24, 48, 72 and 168 treatment on flavonolignan production in Silybum marianum callus culture was investigated. Compound 2 in c2 concentration and after 72 h treatment increased 12-times silychristin production.
