RESUMO
Chemical investigations carried out with tissues at different developmental stages of Araucaria angustifolia established the presence of E and Z isomers of octadecyl p-coumarate and octadecyl ferulate in undifferentiated callus; in the seedling stems, the source of explants, three biflavones of the amentoflavone-type were isolated, whereas the diterpene, trans-communic acid, was obtained from the seedling roots. Adult stems accumulated the benzaldehydes, vanillin, p-hydroxybenzaldehyde and coniferaldehyde; the lignans, pinoresinol, eudesmin and lariciresinol; and the isoflavones, cabreuvine and irisolidone.
