title: In vitro rosmarinic acid accumulation in sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum L.).
abstract: Leaf-derived suspension cultures of sweet basil, Ocimum basilicum L. accumulated rosmarinic acid up to 10 mg g(-1) dry wt, a value up to 11 times higher than in callus cultures or in leaves of donor plants. Immobilized cells accumulated less than 15 microg rosmarinic acid g(-1).
