Abstract

 Rooted regenerated shoots obtained from leaf and nodal segments of Rosmarinus officinalis were grown on a basal nutrient medium for 9 weeks. The regenerants were shown by means of HPLC and mass spectrometry to contain carnosic acid, a diterpenoid with antioxidant and medicinal properties. Five-week-old nodular green callus also contained carnosic acid, whereas non-green, undifferentiated callus maintained in the dark did not.
