Using the Strategy of Inducing and Genetically Transforming Plant Suspension Cells to Produce High Value-Added Bioactive Substances

Abstract

Plants can produce many functional bioactive substances. The suspension cell system of plants can be constructed based on its characteristics to realize the large-scale production of valuable products. In this review, we mainly talk about the main strategies, elicitation, and genetic transformation to improve the yield of active substances by using this system. Meanwhile, we focus on the challenges hiding in the practical application and the future prospects and provide new ideas and the theoretical basis for obtaining numerous bioactive substances from plants.

Phytochemical Composition, Antioxidant, Antibacterial, and Enzyme Inhibitory Activities of Various Organic Extracts from Apocynum hendersonii (Hook.f.) Woodson

“…Plants are a major and rich source of biomolecules that have multifunctional activities and low drug resistance potential, eliciting few side effects [ 1 ]. Bioactive plant materials, such as flavonoids, phenols, polysaccharides, and terpenoids, have tremendous biological applications and have been exploited as medicine, cosmetics, and food additives [ 2 ]. Polyphenols and polysaccharides have been reported to have exhibited therapeutic action against oxidative stress scavenging on free radicals [ 3 , 4 ].…”
