Plant Cell and Tissue Differentiation and Secondary Metabolites

Part of the book series: Reference Series in Phytochemistry ((RSP))

Abstract

Plant cell and tissue cultures are indispensable tools to understand the process of differentiation that has become a powerful technology for commercial level production of micropropagated plants. Various technological innovations in growing and analyzing cell cultures have led to the production of useful primary and secondary metabolites from plant cell cultures using bioreactors up to a 75,000 L capacity. The processes of differentiation as well as production of secondary metabolites are complex, both involving a coordinated expression of several genes. Differentiation of cells and tissues causes qualitative and quantitative changes in the production of secondary metabolites. Metabolomics and transcriptome analysis of cells and tissues will provide more insight into genes involved in biosynthesis of secondary metabolites. In this brief overview, process of differentiation of cells, tissues, and organs and production of secondary metabolites as affected by plant cell and tissue differentiation are presented. The importance of unorganized and organized cultures as production system is also discussed.
