Hayashi, H. | Sakai, T. | Fukui, H. | Tabata, M.
Cell suspension cultures of licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) have been shown to produce soyasaponins I and II, oleanane-type triterpene glycosides, which are known to exist in certain leguminous plants. The soyasaponin content in the licorice cell cultures varied from 0.017 to 1.1% of the dry weight of cells depending on culture strains and were also greatly influenced by plant growth hormones.
