title: Volatile secondary metabolite pattern of callus cultures of Chamomilla recutita.
abstract: The effects of various plant growth regulators and culture conditions on the production of volatile secondary metabolites from callus cultures of Chamomile (Chamomilla recutita) inflorescence were investigated and the most efficient conditions were determined. The essential oil composition was assayed by GC-MS analysis and found to contain chamomillol, gossonorol, cubenol, alpha-cadinol, (-)-alpha-bisabolol, 1-azulenethanol acetate and (-)-alpha-bisabolol acetate.
