Abstract

Callus cultures were derived from stems and leaves of 3 anthocyanin producing and 3 acyanic lines of Callistephus chinensis (Compositae). The tissue cultures of the cyanic lines were shown to produce cyanidin whereas in the calli of the acyanic lines no anthocyanin synthesis occurred Culture conditions were improved in order to enhance both anthocyanin production and growth of the tissue cultures.
