Abstract
Callus, aseptic plantlets and leaves of three-year-old, greenhouse grown Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium were investigated for pyrethrins and the monoterpenes known to be precursors to them. The callus produced chrysanthemyl alcohol, chrysanthemic acid and chrysanthemum dicarboxylic acid but did not contain detectable amounts of pyrethrins. Leaves from aseptic plantlets and three-year-old plants produced geraniol, chrysanthemyl alcohol, chrysanthemic acid, chrysanthemum dicarboxylic acid and all six pyrethrins.
