Abstract Changes in nutrient medium formulation in terms of major salt concentration or N source significantly modified cardenolide production by Digitalis obscura (genotype T4) shoot-tip cultures. A positive correlation between morphogenetic responses, culture growth, and proliferative capacity on one side and metabolite biosynthesis on the other cannot be established. The final stages of microprogation, rooting, and acclimatization of D. obscura were improved by using paclobutrazol.
