Popis: Garden cress (Lepidium sativum L.) is considered as a medicinal plant with various applications in pharmaceutical and food industries. Mucilage and lepidine as the most secondary metabolites in garden cress were optimized by callus culture. Firstly, the callus was induced under the treatment of 2, 4-D (1 mg l−1) + BAP (2 mg l−1). Then, in vitro synthesis of mucilage and lepidine from the callus and seeds of 10 different garden cress genotypes were evaluated under two different of light conditions (light and darkness). The in vitro synthesis of mucilage and lipidine from callus samples showed higher efficiency in most Iranian genotypes by about two-fold increase compared with one in the seed and leaf tissues respectively. L.s(4) and L.s(9) genotypes with 246.7 and 73.8 mg g−1 Dw had the highest and lowest contents of mucilage in callus tissue. The content of lepidine in L.s(6) (12.16 g g−1Dw) and L.s(5) (1.05 g g−1Dw) genotypes showed the highest and lowest content compared to those of callus. The findings of this research can be applied to high-throughput production of mucilage and lepidine using in vitro callus culture in Lepidium sativum.
