production of secondary metabolites through genetic engineering and plant tissue culture

Chemical reactions that occur in plants known as metabolism and metabolites of important biochemical compounds, including carbohydrates, proteins and fats are. Other biochemical compounds that these three groups are known as secondary metabolites in a wide range of materials such as medicinal compounds, spices, pesticides and natural colors are included. One of the most important techniques of plant tissue culture in line with the industrial production of secondary metabolites because the production potential of these substances in normal conditions is very limited. The technique used in this area mainly include: cell culture, organ culture and hairy root cultures. Plant tissue culture is one of the most important techniques in line with the industrial production of secondary metabolites, but the use of cell culture plant for the production of compounds important drug for industrial use only becomes possible when the product greatly be produced, or more than one product from culture to be achieved. This selection of cell lines with conventional methods and other parameters related to growth or production is not possible. Therefore, we should be able to evaluate the metabolic pathways and the genes they regulate the process limiting production to overexpress (high expression) said. In general, it can be said that the use of these techniques in the production of certain drug can naturally bring great economic benefits.
