Eustoma grandiflorum Shinn (Texas Bluebell): Callus Culture, Micropropagation, and the Production of Gentiopicroside and other Secondary Metabolites

  • Chapter
Medicinal and Aromatic Plants V

Part of the book series: Biotechnology in Agriculture and Forestry ((AGRICULTURE,volume 24))

Abstract

Eustoma belongs to the family Gentianaceae. The taxonomy of this genus has been studied by (1957), who distinguished the species Eustoma grandiflorum Shinn. and E. exaltatum (L.) Salisb. Taking into account morphological features of the leaves and growth, the author proposed distinguishing another species — E. barkleyi Standley. Table 1 will help obtain a clear picture of the synonyms used in the nomenclature of the genus Eustoma.

Table 1 List of synonyms used in the terminology of the genus Eustoma. (Zenkteler and Zenkteler 1987)
