Campanula (Bellflower) Species: In Vitro Culture, Micropropagation, and the Production of Anthocyanins, Polyacetylenes, and Other Secondary Metabolites

  • Chapter
Medicinal and Aromatic Plants X

Part of the book series: Biotechnology in Agriculture and Forestry ((AGRICULTURE,volume 41))

Abstract

The genus Campanula (family Campanulaceae) comprises approximately 300 species distributed across the northern hemisphere (Cook 1951), many of these in mountainous areas. The genus generally inhabits meadow and subalpine regions, many species requiring full sun for optimal development. All species are herbaceous, and the name refers to the bell-shaped, blue flowers of the majority of the species. The species are perennials, biannuals, or annuals.
