Abstract

A research program is being carried on to develop methods for germinating and cultivating Lobelia inflata L., a native forest plant that is the principal source of the alkaloid lobeline, which is used in an increasing number of anti-smoking preparations. The goal is to produce maximum lobeline yields.
