Identification of chemical components in Zataria multiflora callus by GC-Mass analysis
Background and objectives: A modern biotechnological technique to obtain useful natural products from plants is to isolate them from their callus. Zataria multiflora is a bushy herb of the Lamiaceae family known for its stimulant, antibacterial, antioxidant and expectorant effects in Iranian folk me...

Background and objectives: A modern biotechnological technique to obtain useful natural products from plants is to isolate them from their callus. Zataria multiflora is a bushy herb of the Lamiaceae family known for its stimulant, antibacterial, antioxidant and expectorant effects in Iranian folk medicine. The present study has investigated the induction of callus tissue and identification of its chemical compounds by GC-Mass analysis. Methods: The plant seeds of were sterilized and cultured in petri dishes lined with MS medium. After the emergence of seedlings, leaf segments were transferred to another MS medium supplemented with 2 mg/L 2,4- Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid + 1 mg/L Kinetin.
