Callus cultures were initiated from leaf sections of raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) cv. Royalty. Explants from younger leaves produced significantly more calli than those from older leaves. Anderson's salt mixture was more efficient for callus induction than the Murashige-Skoog medium. The best propaga

✦ Synopsis
Callus cultures, cell suspension cultures and shoot cultures of Leonurus cardiaca L. (Motherwort) were established and growth conditions optimized. Shoot cultures showed constant growth whether in the dark or under continuous light, accumulating varying amounts of the furanic labdane diterpenes leosibiricin, preleosibirin, leosibirin and isoballotenol acetate, which are also present in the soil-grown plants. Only traces of leosibiricin were detected in callus cultures, while cell suspension cultures did not produce any furanic diterpenes. A small amount of furanic labdane diterpenes was found in the medium of shoot cultures. Callus and shoot culture induction of several other Lamiaceae species is also described.

Two finely-dispersed, homogeneous and regenerable cell suspension cultures were established from embryogenic callus derived from immature and mature embryos in barley. The quality and viability of suspension cells obtained were determined using differential-interference-contrast microscope and fluor
