In Vitro Culture and the Production of Secondary Metabolites in Stephania

  • Chapter
Medicinal and Aromatic Plants XII

Part of the book series: Biotechnology in Agriculture and Forestry ((AGRICULTURE,volume 51))

Abstract

The genus Stephania (Menispermaceae) comprises approximately 50 species distributed from Africa through Asia to Australia. The importance of the genus in traditional medicine in Asia and Africa is well documented (Min et al. 1986; Cao and Zhu 1997). The underground tubers of the vines are generally characterized by powerful pharmacological effects (Blanchfield et al. 1993).
