✦ Synopsis

Technique de Culture des Tissus Vegetaux, Masson Cie, Paris) was the most effective for the production of sterols and a-amyrin. The increase in sucrose supplementation increased callus biomass production but decreased the specific sterols and triterpenols content~dry weight. The increase in sucrose increased the specific phenolics content. The specific sterols and triterpenols content of in-vitro cultures increased during the exponential phase of biomass growth.
