Abstract
Both growth and theanine accumulation in tea callus cultures were impr oved by the combination of 4 mg/liter benzyladenine and 2 mg/liter ind ol-3-butyric acid, but were strongly inhibited by the addition of 2,4- dichloropbenoxyacetic acid. The optimum initial concentration of carbo n source was 30 g/liter sucrose. Upon the addition of more than 30 g/l iter of sucrose, the callus fresh weight was increased, but the theani ne formation was not improved.
