W. Kisiel et al., SESQUITERPENE LACTONES IN AGROBACTERIUM-RHIZOGENES - TRANSFORMED HAIRY ROOT CULTURE OF LACTUCA-VIROSA, Phytochemistry, 40(4), 1995, pp. 1139-1140
Investigation of hairy root culture of Lactuca virosa transformed with
Agrobacterium rhizogenes resulted in the isolation of eight sesquiter
pene lactones, six of which were glycoside derivatives. In addition, s
tigmasterol together with known triterpenes and their acetates were fo
und. The compounds were identified by spectroscopic methods.
