Establishment and operation of a pilot cell factory for the production of secondary metabolites from medicinal plants, in particular antioxidants

Objective

This research proposal is focused on plant biotechnology. The main objective of the project is the establishment of an in vitro cell factory from medicinal plants in order to produce secondary metabolites, which are useful for the agricultural, food, pharmaceutical and cosmetics sectors. The main steps to be followed are:
a) in vitro culture of Labiates species,
b) regeneration, somatic embryogenesis and micro propagation, and
c) enhanced production of secondary metabolites in vitro biotransformation) molecular markets of clonally propagation and in vitro production. Seeds and plants of Labiates species will be collected, a combination of various plant growth regulators, nutrient media and culture conditions will be investigated and various protocols for plant regeneration. And tissue cultures will be studied. Furthermore, protocols for seasonal will be developed, isolation and chemical characterisation of the natural products in vitro produced will be conducted using Flash Chromatography, HPLC, GS, NMR, etc. and molecular markers (protein and genomic) will be developed and used. Trial tests will be carried out for evaluating the quality profile of the gained products.
