Description Daucus carota callus developed red pigments under the influence of indole-3 acetic acid and kinetin. Maximum yield of anthocyanin at the end of 3 weeks was 5.4% on dry weight basis. The callus subjected to phosphate and nitrate stress produced 7.2% and 8.5% anthocyanin respectively. Feeding of sucrose at 7.5% level resulted in production of 15% anthocyanin. Mannitol as osmoticum had positive influence on anthocyanin production.
