Abstract
Isolated root cultures of <i>Datura innoxia</i> Miller to which benzoin anti-oxime (Cupron) was added showed a change in the habit of growth but no change in the weight of the roots nor in the hyoscyamine and scopolamine content, indicating that ascorbic acid oxidase activity was not involved in alkaloid biosynthesis. An improved method for the germination of <i>D. innoxia</i> seeds was developed.
