【 摘 要 】

Essential oils are not generally accumulated in morphologically undifferentiated cell suspension cultures. A correlation between morphological differentiation and accumulation is confirmed but it is demonstrated that this level of differentiation is not a prerequisite for product synthesis. In this paper we demonstrate that fine cell suspensions do retain their ability to synthesise essential oils and that accumulation can be induced by manipulation of the photoperiod. It is also shown that morphologically undifferentiated immobilised and aggregate cell systems are capable of essential oil synthesis.
