A spontaneously embryogenic cell line of the coumarin producing angelica [Angelica archangelica (L.) subsp. archangelica] was established via callus formation from seedlings grown from sterilized seeds on semi-solid, hormone-free modified B5 medium. The cell line has retained its embryogenic capacity for 5 years. The highest coumarin production for the cell line after 3 weeks of cultivation was achieved in the medium containing 3.0 % sucrose. Jasmonic acid had no statistically significant effect on the biomass or coumarin production. The established embryogenic cell line could be stored using cryopreservation. Plantlets grown in an air-sparged bioreactor were transferred directly to soil and vermiculite, and 63 % of them grew to maturity through two growth seasons. The coumarin content in the regenerated plants was comparable to that in wild plants. Thus this cell line could be used for in vitro propagation.
