Determinants of Yield of Secondary Products in Plant Tissue Cultures

摘要: Publisher Summary Plant tissue cultures have long been regarded as a source of commercially important steroids, alkaloids, colorings, flavors, fragrances, and terpenes for the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food industries. This chapter assesses recent work on factors controlling synthesis secondary products in plants. The nutrient media plant consists carbon source, inorganic nutrients, both macro trace elements, vitamins, amino acids growth regulators. All major components seem to tested their effect product formation. culture conditions are then assessed: light, temperature, cell immobilization. Light, either specific wavelength or white has found an role stimulating formation cultures. When cells grown at reduced temperature there appears be change production products. may also provide useful way investigating control mechanism involved pathways. Immobilization is technique that used with microbial more stable, uniform environment.
