Abstract Brief irradiation with a germicidal UV lamp of cells of red bean,Vigna angularis, cultured in suspension in a quartz flask caused the release into the culture medium of an endogenous substance with elicitor activity, as well as the accumulation of isoflavone glucoside stress metabolites in the cells. The active compound was fractionated using phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL)-inducing activity in fresh cells as a marker. The elicitor active principle appears to be a low molecular weight (〈2000 MW) water-soluble acidic oligosaccharide.
