Plant Tissue Culture—An Opportunity for the Production of Nutraceuticals

摘要: This chapter provides a short discussion about the opportunity to cultivate in vitro plant tissue of species which synthesize secondary metabolites nutraceutical interest. The introduction particular interest cultivation and domestication, can be an alternative harvest wild species. In culture techniques are useful tool improve production marketing allows make rapid clonal propagation plants selected for their active principles. described detail. particular, it is underlined necessity clone produce true-type when standardized products main goal. reached by conventional micropropagation protocols culturing through five phases. Another approach consists applying unconventional systems last phase permit develop autotrophy explants. Autotrophic growth improves quality multiplied shoots facilitates acclimatization plantlets.
