Abstract
Cell cultures of grapes, Vitis vinifera L. cv Gamay Fréaux were grown under different conditions of external osmotic potential induced by an increase of sucrose concentration or by the addition of mannitol to the culture medium. Addition of 82 mM mannitol or increasing sucrose concentration to 132 mM had similar effects on repressing growth. Cyanidin 3-glucoside, peonidin 3-glucoside and peonidin 3-p-coumaroylglucoside are three main anthocyanins of Vitis cells. Increasing osmotic potential from −0.43 MPa to −0.8 MPa in the medium resulted in a significant intracellular accumulation of anthocyanin especially peonidin 3-glucoside in the pigmented cells. High osmotic potential appears to stimulate the methylation of anthocyanins. Osmotic potential is an important culture factor and may be useful in the controlling of anthocyanin production and composition.
