Plant Tissue Culture Technology: Sustainable Option for Mining High Value Pharmaceutical Compounds

Plant cells technology as an effective biotechnological approach for high scale production of pharmaceutical natural compounds; A meta-analysis study

Natural-based drugs are the important bioactive substances that have been used for prevention and treatment of diseases. Natural products should be prepared in commercial scale from relevant medicinal plants. Hence, large amounts of the plants have been needed for extraction and isolation of compounds of natural origin. Plant cells technology is the best strategy for the production of the plant...

Plasma Technology for Removal of Pharmaceutical Compounds from the Environment

Tissue Culture Technology of Chinese Medicinal Plant Resources in Taiwan and their Sustainable Utilization

There has been a renewed interest in the use of herbal medicines throughout the world due to toxicities and health hazards associated with synthetic drugs and antibiotics. About 85% of traditional medicines involve the use of plant extracts However, a large number of medicinal plants still remain to be investigated for their possible pharmacological values. Majority of the pharmaceutical indust...

Mining and quasi-option value∗

We study the timing-of-extraction problem facing a decentralized mine owner when extraction entails environmental damage. As expected, when the environmental damage from mining is known, the socially optimal timing will depend on the magnitude of the damage relative to these costs in the rest of the world. But when environmental damage is uncertain, and these costs are revealed over time, a qua...

History of plant tissue culture.

Plant tissue culture, or the aseptic culture of cells, tissues, organs, and their components under defined physical and chemical conditions in vitro, is an important tool in both basic and applied studies as well as in commercial application. It owes its origin to the ideas of the German scientist, Haberlandt, at the beginning of the twentieth century. The early studies led to root cultures, em...
