Enhanced Production of Secondary Substances: Addition of Artificial Accumulation Sites to Cultures

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Biotechnology in Agriculture and Forestry ((AGRICULTURE,volume 4))

Abstract

Different plant species are collected or grown to make use of their secondary substances, e. g., flavors, perfume bases, drugs, or insecticides. The supply of these plants and their products is obviously subject to heavy fluctuations due to climatic irregularities, exhaustive collection, and political upheavals. To guarantee a steady supply, about 25 years ago researchers started trials to produce secondary substances by means of cell cultures (Reinhard 1975; Zenk 1979; Bisson 1983; Collin and Watts 1983). Up to the present, however, the results of continued experimentation are more or less disappointing. By 1982 only about 30 compounds were known to be accumulated by cell cultures in amounts similar to or even greater than those stored by the intact plants, and very few have been added since (Staba 1985). Most cell cultures are nonproducers or yield very limited amounts of secondary substances (Teuscher 1973). The mechanisms of control are far from being understood (Zenk 1982) and the reasons for these failures have been extensively discussed (Teuscher 1973; Berlin 1983).
