Abstract
Time-course experiments have been carried out to investigate the relationship between growth and alkaloid accumulation in A. altissima cell suspension cultures. Results indicate that the type of basal medium, viz. Murashige and Skoog, Linsmaier and Skoog, Schenk and Hildebrandt or Gamborg's B5, has a significant influence on both growth and alkaloid production.
