Abstract
Fifteen wild-growing plants of Digitalis obscura collected in three di fferents regions were characterized according to their capacities to b iosynthesize cardenolides and to proliferate in vitro. Great genotype- dependent variabilities were found in both parameters. Selected genoty pes were differentiated using randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD ) markers. Once an elite genotype with high-yielding properties was is olated and micropropagated during 2 years, identity of the donor plant and the regenerants was confirmed by RAPD analysis.
