The Influence of Abiotic Factors on the Induction of Seaweed Callus

Seaweeds are a major source of functional foods, nutraceuticals, and pharmaceuticals. Seaweed can be sustainably harvested through callus culture, which yields homogenous cells bioproducts under controlled conditions. Callus induction is crucial early step in culture influenced by several abiotic factors. This review aims to discuss the influence factors on seaweeds, prerequisite for application development seaweed culture. We used three online databases (Springer, Science Direct, Wiley) search literature published between 1987 2020. Thirty-three articles were identified analyzed using Preferred Reporting Items Systematic Reviews Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The analysis covers 56 species (3% Chlorophyta, 44% Phaeophyta, 53% Rhodophyta) various treatments, including light irradiance (23%), temperature (15%), media type (21%), plant growth regulators (26%), gelling conditions (9%), other (6%). information these intended practical reference foster further study seaweed. More studies needed determine how maintain increase mass suspension industrial production its metabolites.
