Abstract

Abstract The morphological stability of hairy root cultures of Pimpinella anisum was studied using cultures grown in four different media, both in darkness and under photoperiod conditions of 16 h light; they were first subcultured every eight days and then later on every three weeks. From the four media tested, the hairy root cultures grown in SH medium both in darkness and under photoperiod conditions showed a marked morphological stability with ...
