Abstract

Plant tissue culture is one of the key biotechnological techniques for the stable and efficient production of plant secondary metabolites. Unlike conventional cultivation, plant tissue culture enables the large-scale production of these compounds without being affected by climate or environmental conditions. Numerous studies have been conducted to optimize this technique. In particular, callus induction, adventitious root culture, and hairy root culture using Agrobacterium rhizogenes have been employed to produce various bioactive secondary metabolites. These metabolites, derived from plant tissue cultures, have been applied in a wide range of industries, including food and cosmetics, and in the production of high-value pharmaceuticals such as taxol and camptothecin, which are known for their anticancer properties. This review aims to analyze recent trends in the production of secondary metabolites using various plant tissue culture techniques and to provide insights for the identification of high-value functional materials with strong industrial applicability.
