Abstract
Members of the Anthemideae include important floricultural (cut-flower) and ornamental (pot and garden) crops, as well as plants of medicinal and ethno-pharmacological interest. Despite the use of many of these plants (over 1400 species) in the extraction of important secondary metabolites and essential oils, the greatest emphasis has been on their in vitro tissue culture and micropropagation. Few studies have been conducted on genetic transformation, with those primarily focused on increasing yield of compounds in plants. This review, the first and only available for plants within this Family, highlights all the available literature that exists on Anthemideae (excluding ornamental chrysanthemums) in vitro cell, tissue and organ culture, micropropagation and transformation.
Highlights
INTRODUCTIONMembers of the Anthemideae top over 1400 species (the most common known by different names globally, Table 1) and consist of one of the most important global cut flower and pot plants, Dendranthema grandiflora, as well as important medicinal and aromatic plants from which many important secondary metabolites and essential oils are extracted

The number of studies conducted on the tissue culture and micropropagation of its members are few, focusing only on one or two individual species that produce compounds of high economic value
Summary
Members of the Anthemideae top over 1400 species (the most common known by different names globally, Table 1) and consist of one of the most important global cut flower and pot plants, Dendranthema grandiflora, as well as important medicinal and aromatic plants from which many important secondary metabolites and essential oils are extracted. The number of studies conducted on the tissue culture and micropropagation of its members are few, focusing only on one or two individual species that produce compounds of high economic value. In these same species the scarce genetic transformation studies have been primarily conducted to increase yields of those compounds or oils. A review on ornamental chrysanthemum biotechnology is discussed elsewhere (Teixeira da Silva, 2003). Chrysanthemum coronarium and C. segetum are widely distributed in the Mediterranean, western Africa and Asia.
