“…Therefore, this work dealt with inducing the callus and cell culture of P. alata and the investigation of in vitro alkaloid production, with and without L-tryptophan feeding. The cell culture of Passiflora was revised (Drew 1997), and some authors, using several explants such as endosperm and zygotic embryo (Guzzo et al, 2004), internode segments (Biasi et al, 2000) and leaf discs (Monteiro et al, 2000) carried out organogenesis. The culture of isolated protoplasts (naked cells), followed by reproducible plant regeneration, was also studied (Davey et al, 2006).…”
