Plant Cell Culture Secondary MetabolismToward Industrial Application

By Frank DiCosmo, Masanaru Misawa Copyright 1996

    Plant cell cultures are used extensively in studies of secondary metabolism, for the biosynthesis of pharmaceuticals, flavors, essences, and pigments. This book highlights recent developments in the in vitro growth of cultured plant cells and in the production of valuable secondary metabolites.
    Plant Cell Culture Secondary Metabolism details research on many exciting areas including:

    Screening of Plant Cell Cultures for New Industrially Interesting Compounds, J. Schripsema, S.Y. Fung, and R. Verpoorte
    Large-Scale Production of Secondary Metabolites by Plant Cell Cultures, J.E. Schlatmann, H.J.G. ten Hoopen, and J.J. Heijnen
