Biotechnology-a sustainable alternative for chemical industry.

TL;DR: Environmental and economic benefits that biotechnology can offer in manufacturing, monitoring and waste management are highlighted and the following benefits include: greatly reduced dependence on nonrenewable fuels and other resources; reduced potential for pollution of industrial processes and products.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biotechnology for the production of plant secondary metabolites

TL;DR: Metabolic engineering seems a promising approach to improve the production of a cell factory and can be used in the cell culture, in the plant itself or even production in other plant species or organisms.

Podophyllotoxin: distribution, sources, applications and new cytotoxic derivatives

TL;DR: Several podophyllotoxin derivatives modified in the A, B, C, D and E rings were prepared from podophyLLotoxin and methyl isoxazopodophyllic acid and evaluated for their cytotoxicity on several neoplastic cell lines.
Journal ArticleDOI

Current approaches toward production of secondary plant metabolites.

TL;DR: The present review is aimed to cover phytotherapeutic application and recent advancement for the production of some important plant pharmaceuticals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Production of secondary metabolites from cell and organ cultures: strategies and approaches for biomass improvement and metabolite accumulation

TL;DR: By following stage-specific strategies, it is possible to produce large amounts of biomass with an increase in the accumulation of secondary compounds, which are used as pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, flavors, fragrances, coloring agents, biopesticides, and food additives.

A revised medium for rapid growth and bio assays with tobacco tissue cultures

TL;DR: In vivo redox biosensing resolves the spatiotemporal dynamics of compartmental responses to local ROS generation and provide a basis for understanding how compartment-specific redox dynamics may operate in retrograde signaling and stress 67 acclimation in plants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of the signal molecules produced by wounded plant cells that activate T-DNA transfer in Agrobacterium tumefaciens

TL;DR: It is shown here that Agrobacterium tumefaciens virulence (Vir) gene expression is activated specifically by the plant molecules acetosyringone (AS) and α-hydroxyacetosyringsone (OH-AS).
Journal ArticleDOI

Agrobacterium rhizogenes inserts T-DNA into the genomes of the host plant root cells

TL;DR: DNA hybridization studies confirm that roots induced by A. rhizogenes might contain T-DNA derived from the virulence plasmid of the pathogen, which is closely related to Agrobacterium tumefaciens, the causative agent of crown gall disease.
