The time course of growth and changes of phenolics formation were examined in Lavandula vera-MM suspension culture. After 9 days of cultivation, 11 g.dm−3of dry biomass was accumulated, which contained a sufficient amount of phenolic compounds (230 mg. dm−3). The HPLC analysis identified rosmarinic and caffeic acids as main components. To our knowledge this is the first report on cell culture from Lavandula vera producing rosmarinic acid.
