Higher plant are rich source of medicinally important compounds which can be inhanced by plant tissue culture technique.. The useful natural products are synthesized through secondary metabolism, hence they are also known as secondary metabolites. During metabolism in growing cells, the secondary metabolites are either deposited in vacuoles or excreted from gland cells. Large scale yield of secondary metabolites from cultured plant cells can be increased simply by changing the physiological and biochemical conditions from growth medium. The present work was carried out to enhance the...
