Abstract

Tissue callus cultures originating from Chelidonium majus L. seeds were established on Gamborg B5, Murashige-Skoog (MS), and Schenk-Hildebrandt (SH) media. In all experimental conditions, calli accumulated a complex pattern of isoquinoline derivatives. The highest values, both in growth and in sanguinarine production, were obtained using SH medium.

Key words

Chelidonium majus L. - Papaveraceae - callus cultures - B5 medium - MS medium - SH medium - isoquinoline alkaloids
