Abstract
Cell suspension cultures of Brucea javanica were grown in media with a variety of plant growth regulators. Although quassinoid production co uld not be initiated, high yields of canthin-6-one alkaloids were foun d. The plant growth regulator regimes used, IAA + KIN, 2,4-D + KIN, NA A + KIN, NAA + BAP, 2,4-D + BAP and IAA + BAP affected cell growth and overall alkaloid production. Variations in the yields of the individu al alkaloids were also observed. The most efficient production of cant hin-6-one, 11-hydroxycanthin-6-one, 11-methoxycanthin-6-one and 5-meth oxycanthin-6-one was found in media containing NAA + BAP.
