More Information
Summary:Plant cell, tissue, and organ culture provide a set of techniques that allow different processes to be addressed to obtain plant embryos, high value-added metabolites, information about metabolic pathways, and regeneration of plants, among others. These tools have been applied in a diversity of areas such as food, agronomy, and human health. Particularly, the usefulness of these methodologies, when applied to the study of medicinal plants, takes on greater importance because they facilitate the extraction of secondary metabolites obtained from in vitro cultures of organs, or from undifferentiated cells. In this situation, the use of elicitors promotes the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites, and the addition of precursors to the culture medium helps researchers to understand the biosynthesis pathways of valuable chemical compounds. Other important applications include micropropagation to aid the conservation and recovery of endangered species or plant regeneration in genetic modification studies. This chapter deals with generalities about in vitro culture, the importance of plant regeneration, the study of secondary metabolites, and the improved behavior of chemical compounds, through the encapsulation process, which are useful in human health and in industrial processes.
