Plant Tissue Culture

This book presents a comprehensive guide to biotechnological approaches for producing bioactive compounds from tissue-cultured plants. It systematically covers: (1) fundamental principles of plant tissue culture and its advantages over wild harvesting; (2) optimized protocols for establishing cultures including explant selection media preparation and yield enhancement strategies; (3) modern extraction techniques (solvent-based supercritical fluid ultrasound/microwave-assisted); (4) advanced analytical methods (HPLC GC-MS NMR FTIR) and bioactivity assays; and (5) current challenges and future directions including scale-up issues CRISPR-based metabolic engineering and sustainability considerations. Featuring case studies (e.g. paclitaxel production) and practical protocols this work bridges laboratory research with industrial applications. It serves as an essential resource for researchers and professionals in plant biotechnology pharmaceutical science and natural product development offering both theoretical foundations and actionable methodologies for sustainable bioactive compound production.
