Abstract

Fine cell suspension cultures of Cinchona ledgeriana produce only very low amounts of quinoline alkaloids. These cultures formed self-propagating compact globular structures (CGS) on medium containing 2,4-D and BAP. These CGS could be induced to produce significant amounts of quinoline alkaloids by replacing 2,4-D by low amounts of 1-NAA, which was accompanied by histological changes of the CGS. A few high producing CGS clones could be selected. The stability of this trait was studied over a period of about one year of culture in maintenance medium.
