Abstract
Studies were performed on the growth of callus cultures of Cinchona pubescens VAHL concerning the influence of the concentration of major and minor elements described
by MURASHIGE and SKOOG [1], as well as a number of organic constituents in the medium.
After 13 weeks a maximum increase of the fresh and dry weight was observed in tissues
grown on a medium containing 2,4-D[1] (1 mg/l) and BA[1] (2 mg/l) as growth factors and with the same or the half concentration of mineral
salts as used by MURASHIGE and SKOOG.
