Abstract
This review on plant cell fermentation for secondary metabolite production covers cell differentiation, product synthesis and accumulation, compartmentation, material cultured, and culture conditions employed. While product formation, including industrial scale operations, is well advanced, the induction of product formation is still the subject of much present-day research. Analysis of the competence of cells for product formation when associated with structural differentiation is lacking and will require genetic engineering technology.Keywords
