摘要: The demand for natural and nonpersistent insecticides is increasing day by day. Plant cell cultures could be an alternative to conventional methods of production from field-grown plants. In vitro cultured plant cells produce a wide array as part their secondary metabolism. Their ability synthesize key enzymes the manipulation these lead enhanced many industrial importance. development high-yielding hairy root culture system thiophenes, nicotine, phytoecdysones considerable interest. this article, current literature on various factors that influence growth, production, secretion six insecticidal compounds, namely, pyrethrins, azadirachtin, rotenoids, which have been prospects scale-up cultures, genetic engineering obtain transgenic plants, metabolically engineered plants increased bio-molecules, has discussed. Environmental safety clearance future application biomolecules plant-derived are presented.
