Immobilization of Plant Cells

  • Chapter
Plant Cell Biotechnology

Abstract

Cessation of growth (Fig. 46), stress situations and the onset of differentiation have been shown to be important factors triggering secondary compound production. While the first two factors may be established in a chemostat culture, differentiation is effectively prevented by the predominantly unicellular state in suspension cultures.
