in vitro
opens new possibilities in
research of phenolic metabolism. Formation of phenolic compounds in callus
and cell cultures is low than in plant. The introduction o f hormones or
hormonelike effectors, various carbone sources, precursors and others factors
usually plays the important role in the production of phenolic compounds.
Metabolism o f phenylpropanoids, flavonoids and lignins was investigated in
callus tissues of tea plant accumulating big amounts o f phenolic compounds.
