-1 . The highest amount of volatile oil was harvested 9 days (d) after elicitor treatment. The activity of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA reductase increased by 2.79-folds compared with the control of 7 d after treatment. The elicitor also enhanced the activities of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, peroxidase superoxide dismutase, polyphenol oxidase, and catalase. These enhanced activities led to improved plant defence-related secondary metabolite synthesis ability. In addition, the elicitor-treated cells were consistently healthy, and had slightly increased biomass. The results demonstrated for the first time the optimal induction time and concentration of the endophytic fungal elicitor, as well as the changes in physiological indices after endophyte-host interaction. The information provided in the present study may be applied in large-scale medicinal plant suspension cultures.
