Alkaloid Production in Relation to Differentiation in Cell and Tissue Cultures of Tabernaemontana pandacaqui.
Alkaloid production in TABERNAEMONTANA PANDACAQUI cultures is dependent on the degree of differentiation. At high levels of production the major alkaloid found was 3 S-hydroxyvoacangine. This alkaloid has not previously been isolated from any plant. Micropropagation of T. PANDACAQUI was quick and highly efficient.
