The production of phenylethanoid derivatives in callus and cell suspension cultures of four oleaceous plants, Abeliophyllum distichum, Forsythia suspensa, F. viridissima, and F. koreana was investigated. Of two types of A. distichum cultured cells, the friable fine cells produced only the 4-hydroxyphenylethanoid-type glucoside, cornoside, whereas the small cell aggregates produced the 3,4-dihydroxyphenylethanoid-type glycosides (i.e. verbascoside) predominantly. In the cultured cells of F. suspensa and F. viridissima, the latter-type glycosides were produced predominantly and from those of F. koreana, lignan glucosides with 3,4-dioxygenated phenyl groups were isolated.
