PENGARUH ELISITOR BIOTIK DAN ABIOTIK PADA PRODUKSI FLAVONOID MELALUI KULTUR JARINGAN TANAMAN

Abstract

Plant tissue culture appears to be a good alternative for production of bioactive secondary metabolites, such as flavonoids. These metabolites are naturally phenolic compounds in fruits, vegetables, seeds, bark, roots, stems, and flowers with various biological activities. Application of this method can increase secondary metabolites productivity through changes in expression of metabolic pathways, mainly by biotic and abiotic elicitors utilization. Elicitors influence secondary metabolites production through secondary pathway activation as a major response to biotic and abiotic stresses. Many studies have been being performed to find elicitors with an outstanding influence on the accumulation of flavonoids and its mechanisms.
