Abstract

Gladiolus imbricatus a rare species spread in Central Europe and Mediterranean, included in the Red List of Ukraine as endangered. Also it have medicinal properties. The aim of our study is to establish the content of biologically active compounds in plant material and to develop in vitro technologies for G. imbricatus. Physico-chemical methods of analysis established the presence of polysaccharides, flavonoids, terpenoids and vitamin C mainly and fewer aromatic and quinones compounds. Have proposed alternative technology receiving biologically active compounds from callus culture.
