Polish contributions in developing medicinal plant in vitro propagation system

Abstract Since the 1980s, there has been a significant emphasis in biotechnology on utilisation of medicinal plants as source raw materials for pharmaceutical industry. Moreover, have identified potential alternative essential compounds with wide range applications, including those involved producing medications, nutraceuticals, food additives, cosmeceuticals, natural pigments, and preservatives. The plant micropropagation system is an ideal solution to problems caused by conventional exploitation since it may simultaneously provide uniform biomass bioactive secondary metabolites ex situ conservation uncommon or endangered species (dual strategies micropropagation). In honour Polish Botany Society’s Centenary anniversary 2022, this article summarises development vitro propagation method selected researchers botanists.
