Factors affecting the growth, antioxidant potential, and secondary metabolites production in hazel callus cultures.

ABSTRACT: Hazelnut is one of the most important nut plants recently suggested as a sustainable source for paclitaxel. In the present study, the effect of the concentration and combination of PGRs, different basal medium and ultrasonic waves on callus induction and growth, physiological characteristics, and taxol and baccatin III production in hazelnut callus cultures were investigated. The results indicated that combining 2,4-D (2 mg/L) and Kin (0.2 mg/L) with the sonication of explants for 1 min provides an optimized condition for callus induction and growth. Hazelnut explants exhibited different callus production and biochemical and metabolic characteristics depending on the basal medium type, ultrasound treatment, and inclusion of ascorbic acid in the medium. So that, the highest percentage of ca
