Download or read book Cell Culture in Phytochemistry written by Indra Vasil and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cell Culture and Somatic Cell Genetics of Plants, Volume 4: Cell Culture in Phytochemistry reviews phytochemistry by employing plant cell cultures. This book discusses the realization of industrial plant cell culture for the production of phytochemicals and molecular biological approach to understand the regulation of product synthesis. The topics covered include the accumulation of secondary metabolites, phenolic production in cultured tissues, and stability of clones and subclones. The somatic hybridization by protoplast fusion, various techniques for continuous culture of plant cells, and methodology of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) are also deliberated. This volume provides intensive information on all aspects of plant cell and tissue culture and is recommended to both experienced researchers and to those newly entering the field.
