Resveratrol, a naturally occurring polyphenol, has been reported to exhibit a wide range of valuable biological and pharmacological properties. In the present investigation, we show that transformation of Vitis amurensis Rupr. with the oncogene rolC of Agrobacterium rhizogenes increased resveratrol production in the two transformed callus cultures 3.7 and 11.9 times. The rolC-transformed calli were capable of producing 0.099% and 0.144% dry weight of resveratrol. We characterized phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) and stilbene synthase (STS) gene expression in the two rolC transgenic callus cultures of V. amurensis. In the rolC transgenic culture with higher resveratrol content, expression of VaPAL3, VaSTS3, VaSTS4, VaSTS5, VaSTS6, VaSTS8, VaSTS9, and VaSTS10 was increased; while in the rolC culture with lower resveratrol content, expression of VaPAL3 and VaSTS9 was increased. We suggest that transformation of V. amurensis calli with the rolС gene induced resveratrol accumulation via selective enhancement of expression of individual PAL and STS genes involved in resveratrol biosynthesis. We compared the data on PAL and STS gene expression in rolC transgenic calli with the previously obtained results for rolB transgenic calli of V. amurensis. We propose that the transformation of V. amurensis with the rolC and rolB genes of A. rhizogenes increased resveratrol accumulation through different regulatory pathways.
