The volatile constituents isolated from leaves, comprised 6 identified components, constituting 83.12% of the total oil. GC/MS analysis of the unsaponifiable matter of fruits revealed the presence of 13 compounds, representing 85.61% of the total identified compounds, while that of leaves revealed the presence of 10 compounds, representing 87.16% of the total identified compounds. GC/MS analysis of the fatty acids methyl esters of fruits showed the presence of 13 components, representing 84.79% of the total identified compounds, while that leaves indicated the presence of 10 components, representing 91.07% of the total identified compounds. In addition, scopoletin, kaempferol, luteolin, rutin and apigenin 7-O-glucoside were isolated and identified by TLC, UV and 1H-NMR spectroscopic analysis. Biotechnological study showed that supplementation of MS medium with 10mg/l ZT+10 mg/ lIAA+500 mg / l PVP+0.1 mg / l Thiamine HCL recorded the best results of percentage of calli induction, and supplementation of 1/2 MS+1mg/l Zeatin+2 mg / lIAA+4 mg / l BA+0.5g / l PVP gave the best results of percentage of regenerated shootlets. The quantitative determination of the flavonoid and phenolic constituents of leaves and calli extracts (80% MeOH, each) using HPLC analysis, showed kaempferol (80.9 æg / g Dw) as the highest amount of flavonoid in leaves, and luteolin-6-arbinose 8-glucose (65.1 æg/g) in calli derived internode explants, while scopoletin was the highest phenolic compound recorded (57.08 and 25.3 æg/g) in both, respectively ER -
