Abstract
Flax cotyledonary tissue loses its biosynthetic potential for flavonoid and sinapoyl compounds when grown on agar medium containing sucrose, NAA, kinetin, and coconut water. The pattern of phenolic compounds of the callus tissue, however, exhibits a marked differentiation which is related to the levels of growth substances or phenolic precursors added to the culture medium. The induced formation of a C-glycoflavone (iso-orientin) and an anthocyanin (cyanidin-3,5-diglucoside) under high levels of kinetin and white light was demonstrated.Keywords
