title: Anthocyanin production of Glehnia littoralis callus cultures.
abstract: A stable callus line that produces anthocyanins was established from callus derived from a petiole of a Glehnia littoralis seedling and subcultured in the dark. The major anthocyanin which made up about 60% of the total anthocyanins was determined as cyanidin 3-O-(6-O-(6-O-(E)-feruloyl-beta-D-glucopyranosyl) -2-O-beta-D-xylopyranosyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside) by chemical and spectroscopic analyses. Anthocyanin contents in the cells cultured on B5 basal medium containing NAA (1 mg l-1), kinetin (0.01 mg l-1) and 3% sucrose reached 14% (dry wt basis) and the productivity has been sustained for 5 years.
