- Title
Leaf structure and cytochemical investigation of secretory tissues in Inula viscosa.

Nikolakaki, A.; Christodoulakis, N. S.
- Abstract
Leaves of Inula viscosa have been used in medicine from ancient times. Structures or cells with secreting activity were localized and a spectrum of products was histochemically identified within them. Leaf extracts were investigated with gas chromatography – mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and thin-layer chromatography (TLC). Calluses produced from leaf-cell cultures were also subjected to histochemical reagents and tested with GC-MS and TLC to investigate their secreting ability compared with that in leaves. Little-differentiated callus cells are synthetically active and produce, as do its leaf cells, numerous polar compounds that could be of pharmaceutical interest. © 2004 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2004, 144, 437–448.
