<i>Linnaea borealis</i> L. var. <i>borealis</i>—In Vitro Cultures and Phytochemical Screening as a Dual Strategy for Its Ex Situ Conservation and a Source of Bioactive Compounds of the Rare Species

<i>Linnaea borealis</i> L. (Twinflower)—a dwarf shrub in the Linnaeeae tribe of Caprifoliaceae family—is distributed across the Northern Hemisphere. By means of this study, a reliable protocol for efficient micropropagation of uniform <i>L. borealis</i> L. var. <i>borea...
