Chitosan is a biodegradable and biocompatible polysaccharide obtained by partial
deacetylation of chitin. This polymer has been gaining increasing popularity due to its …

Plant in vitro cultures represent an attractive and cost-effective alternative to classical
approaches to plant secondary metabolite (PSM) production (the “Plant Cell Factory” …

Chitosan in both native and degraded form (oligosaccharides) acts as a growth promoter
and generate responses associated with both primary and secondary metabolism in plants …

Higher plants undergo a variety of stresses and to combat those stresses they acclimatize
themselves by producing diverse secondary metabolites. These secondary metabolites also …

Plant secondary metabolites are produced naturally in the plant system as a defense
mechanism to combat environmental stress factors. These metabolites are extensively used …

Abstract Amorpha-4, 11-diene synthase (ADS) of Artemisia annua catalyzes the conversion
