Abstract:
Cultured plant cells of Eucalyptus perriniana glucosylated taxifolin to its 3'- and 7-O-beta-D-glucosides and 3',7-O-beta-D-diglucoside. On the other hand, taxifolin was converted into 3'- and 7-O-beta-D-glucosides by cultured cells of Nicotiana tabacum and Catharanthus roseus.

02:57Plant Tissue Culture
Plant tissue culture is widely used in both primary and applied science. Applications range from plant development studies to functional gene studies, crop improvement, commercial micropropagation, virus elimination, and conservation of rare species.
02:50Transgenic Plants
Recombinant DNA technology called transgenesis is often used to add a foreign gene or remove a detrimental gene from an organism. Such genetically modified organisms are called transgenic organisms.
The first-ever transgenic plant was a tobacco plant developed in 1983 that showed resistance against the tobacco mosaic virus. Since then, many transgenic plants have been developed and commercialized for improving the agricultural, ornamental, and horticultural value of a crop plant. Transgenic...
