Enhancement of In Vitro Production of Volatile Organic Compounds by Shoot Differentiation in .

Callus initiation, shoot formation and plant regeneration were established for , a traditional medicinal plant growing in Armenia, Middle-Anatolia and Iran, and producing valuable volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are mostly represented by monoterpenoids. Optimal callus initiation and shoot production were obtained by culture of hypocotyl and cotyledon explants on MS medium comprising 0.5 mg L naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) and 0.
