TL;DR: The effect of culture medium nutrients on growth and alkaloid production by plant cell cultures of Nothapodytes nimmoniana (J. Grah.) Mabberley (Icacinaceae) was studied with a view to increasing the production of the alkaloids camptothecin, a key therapeutic drug used for its anticancer properties.

TL;DR: An integrated yield enhancement strategy, developed by the addition of selected elicitor (A. niger and ascorbic acid) at optimized concentrations, resulted in 24.6 g/l dry cell weight biomass and 53.62 mg/l glycyrrhizin, which was 5.22 times higher in productivity in comparison to control cultures.

TL;DR: A twofold increase in glycyrrhizin productivity was obtained in transformed A. precatorius cell suspension cultures over the untransformed cultures, indicating the prospective of the amalgamation of elicitation methodology with transformed cell cultures for the large-scale production of glycyRrhizIn.

TL;DR: The successful approach for production of vasicine by cell cultures of A. vasica is reported, and elicitation as the yield enhancement strategy was developed by the addition of selected elicitor like methyl jasmonate, chitosan, yeast extract, ascorbic acid, and sodium salicylate at optimized concentrations.

TL;DR: Among the various sugars evaluated (glucose, galactose, fructose, maltose, and sucrose), use of sucrose in the medium led to the maximum accumulation of puerarin, which was obtained when a concentration balance of 20:60 mM NH4+/NO3− was used as the nitrogen source.
