Tinospora cordifolia

Accumulation of berberine and jatrorrhizine (protoberberine alkaloids) was observed in both callus and cell suspension cultures. The root extracts of T. cordifolia showed higher levels of jatrorrhizine compared to the levels of berberine

Ipomoea batatas

Caffeoylquinic acids: caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid, 3,4-dicaffeoylquinic acid, 3,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid, 4,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid, 3,4,5-tricaffeoylquinic acid

Accumulation of phenolic compounds has been monitored in a suspension culture of anthocyanin-accumulating sweet potato cell line grown under the conditions of modified Murashige and Skoog high-anthocyanin production medium (APM) over a period of 24 days

Linum album

Podophyllotoxin, 6- methoxypodophyllotoxin

The accumulation of podophyllotoxin (PTOX) and 6-methoxypodophyllotoxin (6MPTOX) was enhanced about twofold in the suspension culture of Linum album line 2–5 aH following the addition of methyl jasmonate (MeJas) to the cultivation medium

Taxus baccata

Taxol

A 2-stage suspension cell culture of Taxus baccata L. using modified B5 medium improved cell growth as well as productivity of secondary metabolite taxol

Azadirachtin

Glucose and phosphate were identified as the major growth-limiting nutrients during the bioreactor cultivation and production of secondary metabolites

Lycopersicon esculentum

Lycopene extraction

Optimal conditions predicted by RSM were confirmed to enhance lycopene yield from standardized tomato cell cultures by more than threefold

Cocos nucifera

Phenylpropanoid

Chitosan-induced elicitation responses of dark-incubated Cocos nucifera (coconut) endosperm cell suspension cultures led to the rapid formation of phenylpropanoid derivatives, which essentially mimics the defense-induced biochemical changes in coconut palm as observed under in vivo conditions

Nostoc flagelliforme

Exopolysaccharides

The growth rate of N. flagelliforme cells and the accumulation of exopolysaccharides (EPS) increased prominently when NaNO3 and KH2PO4 were added in the liquid BG-11culture medium though phosphate had little effect on EPS yield for specific mass of cells. N. flagelliforme cells grew well at 25 °C and neutral pH; however, a lower or higher temperature and weak alkaline can promote EPS accumulation. With the increase of the light intensity, the growth rate of N. flagelliforme cells and the EPS accumulation increase accordingly

Arnebia hispidissima

Alkannin

Highest alkannin content was recorded in cell suspension and callus culture established on M-9 medium. Production of alkannin was influenced by the different culture medium

Arnebia euchroma

Isohexenylnaphthazarins: deoxyalkannin, alkannin, hydroxyisovalerylalkannin, acetylalkannin, isobutyrylalkannin, β-2''-(S)-α-methylbutyrylalkannin, propionylalkannin, teracrylalkannin, acetylshikonin

The phytochemical investigation of the n-hexane extract from callus and cell suspension culture of Arnebia euchroma (Royle) Jonst. resulted in the isolation of number of isohexenylnaphthazarins

Stevia rebaudiana

Stevioside

The growth kinetics of the cell suspension culture has shown a maximum specific cell growth rate of 3.26 day−1, doubling time of 26.35 h and cell viability of 75%, respectively. Stevioside content in cell suspension was high during exponential growth phase and decreased subsequently at the stationary phase

Mathur and Shekhawat et al. (2013)

Stevia rebaudiana

Steviol glycoside

Abiotic stress induced by the salts increased the concentration of steviol glycoside (SGs) significantly. In callus, the quantity of SGs got increased from 0.27 (control) to 1.43 and 1.57% with 0.10% NaCl, and 0.025% Na2CO3, respectively. However, in case of suspension culture, the same concentrations of NaCl and Na2CO3 enhanced the SGs content from 1.36 (control) to 2.61 and 5.14%, respectively, on the 10th day

Scrophularia striata

Acteoside

The stem explant of S. striata was optimum for callus induction. Modified Murashige and Skoog medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/l naphthalene acetic acid + 2.0 mg/l benzyl adenine was the most favorable medium for callus formation with the highest induction rate (100%), the best callus growth and the highest acteoside content (1.6 μg/g fresh weight)

Satureja khuzistanica

Rosmarinic acid

Maximum cell fresh weight (353.5 g/L), dry weight (19.7 g/L) and rosmarinic acid (RA) production (180.0 mg/g) were attained at day 21 of culture. Cell growth and RA content were affected by nitrogen deficiency. Media containing 8.3 mM of total nitrogen (¼ of B5 standard medium) led to a minimum cell fresh weight (243.0 g/L), dry weight (17.4 g/L) and RA content (38.0 mg/g) after 21 days. The established CSC provided useful material for further optimization experiments aimed at a large-scale production of RA

Saccharum officinarum

 

Somaclonal variation occurs during the process of indirect organogenesis and RAPD and ISSR marker-based molecular analysis is a suitable method for an early detection of variation in sugarcane

Salvia leriifolia

Phenolic acids: caffeic acid, salvianolic acid B, rosmarinic acid

The maximum content of caffeic acid and salvianolic acid B were observed on the 15th day of the cultivation cycle while the highest amount of rosmarinic acid was observed on the first day. Cell cultures with 40 g/L sucrose not only produced the highest dry biomass but also the highest induction of caffeic acid and salvianolic acid B
