Chemistry of Natural Compounds Aims and scope

Abstract

The influence of light on the total productivity of a tissue culture ofAjuga turkestanica has been studied. When calluses are grown in the absence of light the yield of biomass and its ecdysterone content increase. In a study of the influence of α-naphthylacetic acid on the productivity of a suspension cell culture it has been shown that with an increase in the concentration of the auxin the yield of crude mass rises but the ecdysterone content falls. The activation of the biosynthesis of the secondary product takes place with a retardation of the processes of growth and cell division.
