Abstract

Callus and suspension cultures were established from Quassia amara, a member of the Simaroubaceae. Analysis of the tissue culture showed that quassin was present in both callus and suspension cultures. The effect of variation in auxin and cytokinins on both callus growth and the presence of quassin was examined. The suspension culture was grown in a 7 liter bioreactor when good yields of quassin were achieved.
