Geiger Inc., Larleysville, PA). Seeds were allowed to germinate for 3-6 days till the roots started to emerge from the bottom of the rockwool cube .

  • Aeration was provided either by shaking the cylinders at 50 rpm on the platform shaker (Model Orbit, Lab-Line Instruments, Inc., Melrose Park, IL) or by bubbling compressed air through the solution. Seedlings were cultivated hydroponically in this system for 3 to 5 weeks with roots growing in a nutrient solution. Thereafter, the root system (average root dry weight 0.1 ⁇ 0.05g) was removed from the nutrient solution and placed inside a 30 mL glass beaker, containing 10-20 mL of distilled water or distilled water supplemented with the elicitor. To prevent the water loss from the plant canopy and the drying of the collecting solution, shoots of the plants were covered with a plastic bag.

The root tissue was homogenized in a laboratory blender (Model 31BL91, Waring, New Hartford, CT) in 2 volumes H 2 0 for approximately 30 sec. The homogenate was transferred to a 150 ml Corex tube (Corning, Inc., Corning, NY) and a two-phase extraction was carried out by adding 2 volumes of ethyl acetate (EA) and shaking the sealed tube for 30 min.

  • the filtrate was transferred to a separatory funnel until the lower MeOH/CH,Cl 2 phase became clear (up to 30 minutes) .
  • the MeOH/CH,Cl, extract was then divided into disposable glass tubes (equivalent of 5 g root tissue per tube) , dried in a speed vac and stored in a similar manner to the EA extracts .

  • the Beckman solvent delivery system was controlled by a NEC PC-8300 computer.
  • Chromatography and spectral data was managed by Waters Millennium chromatography software, version 2.10, using a NEC Image 466es computer. All hardware components, except the solvent delivery system, were connected through a standard IEEE communication system. Compounds were separated on a Waters Nova Pak ® C-18 reverse phase column, 3.9 x 150 mm, 60A pore size, and 4 ⁇ m particle size.
  • the mobile phase consisted of two components: Solvent A - 0.5% ACS grade acetic acid in double distilled water, pH 3-3.5; and Solvent B - acetonitrile. Prior to use, each batch of solvent A was degased under vacuum and ultrasonication for 5 minutes .

  • plants or plant parts may be grown on a large scale and used to effectively generate a diverse library of compounds for screening for various applications. Such diversity may be obtained by using a variety of plants and a variety of elicitors. Such library may be effectively generated and screened in that such variety of compounds may be recovered from plant roots .
  • the present invention provides a "factory" for large scale production of compounds in that desired compounds can be simply recovered from roots of plants which are hydroponically grown. Moreover, by use of a selected elicitor, desired compounds which may not be normally present in the roots or which may not be present in sufficient quantities in the roots can be recovered on a large scale from roots of hydroponically grown plants by harvesting roots without destroying the plant .
