CALLUS INDUCTION AND EXTRACTING MEDICAL MATERIALS

Abstract

In recent year, the importance of plants has been Known as a source of pharmaceuticals, due to many factors, the most important of which is the rapid progress in bio molecular technologies where methods have been developed for the transfer of genes and the use of the plant as an alternative source in the production of pharmaceutical proteins, including vaccines, antibodies, enzymes, bioactive compounds and free of viral and pathogens. Therefore, the technology of tissue culture and the generation of cells and plant organs outside the living body is an indispensable tool in the production of medicinal materials derived from plants, and this method has significant productivity benefits in terms of quantity, quality and production controlled without restricting natural factors such as geographical location, seasonal changes, or environmental stresses.
