Glycyrrhizin is an important phytoconstituent of liquorice which is widely used in the pharmaceutical and food industries. Cell suspension cultures of A. precatorius were developed from leaf explant of in vitro germinated plant in Murashige and Skoog medium supplemented with 30g/l sucrose, 1mg/l naphthalene acetic acid and 1mg/l kinetin. The influence of oxytocin on biomass accumulation as well as on the production of glycyrrhizin was observed in the cell cultures of A. precatorius. Treatment of A. precatorius cell cultures with 100μg/l oxytocin, improved glycyrrhizin production up to 34.27mg/l on the dry cell weight basis third day after oxytocin treatment, which is over four times that of the control cultures, simultaneously nearly two fold increase in the biomass 2days after the oxytocin treatment was recorded over the control cultures.
