Plant secondary biosynthetic pathways are exceedingly inducible by elicitors and facilitate
enhanced metabolite production using plant cell tissue and organ cultures. Elicitors can …

Agrobacterium rhizogenes is a natural plant genetic engineer. It is a gram-negative soil
bacterium that induces hairy root formation. Success has been obtained in exploring the …

Background Plants are the prime source of vital secondary metabolites (SMs) which are
medicinally important for drug development, and these secondary metabolites are often …

Calli were obtained from leaf, cotyledon and internode explants of in vitro-grown plants of
Indian cultivar of Withania somnifera in MS medium supplemented with 2, 4-D (2.0 mgl− 1) …

For the purpose of enhancing the secondary metabolite content in micropropagated Stevia
rebaudiana plants without inhibiting plant growth, node explants were cultured on woody …

Carnivorous plants are able to attract small animals or protozoa and retain them in their
specialized traps. Later, the captured organisms are killed and digested. The nutrients …

Background A plant is considered carnivorous if it receives any noticeable benefit from
catching small animals. The morphological and physiological adaptations to carnivorous …

The lipid-derived jasmonate phytohormones (JAs) regulate a wide spectrum of physiological
processes in plants such as growth, development, tolerance to abiotic stresses, and defence …

The effect of different abiotic elicitors [jasmonic acid, copper sulphate (CuSO4) and salicyclic
acid] at varying concentrations on the stimulation of biomass and bacoside production in in …
