Ptelea trifoliata (Quinine Tree, Hop Tree): In Vitro Culture and the Production of Alkaloids and Medicinal Compounds

  • Chapter
Medicinal and Aromatic Plants IV

Part of the book series: Biotechnology in Agriculture and Forestry ((AGRICULTURE,volume 21))

Abstract

Ptelea trifoliata L. (Rutaceae) is a bush of North American origin that has been cultivated in Europe since the eighteenth century. Pharmacological properties (particularly bacteriocidal and cytotoxic activities) are due to the presence of coumarins and quinoline alkaloids.
