Abstract
The effects of various plant growth regulators and nutrients on cell g rowth and anthraquinone production in cell suspension cultures of Rubi a akane NAKAI were investigated. Use of an optimized medium resulted i n a two-fold increase in the anthraquinone content. From the cell cult ures 1,2-dihydroxyanthraquinone was isolated as the main constituent.
