Preface
In vitro plant cell cultures have provided a tool for studying plant metabolism and physiology and to explore productive processes of secondary metabolites. More recently, genetic engineering has allowed the use of in vitro cultures to modulate plant biosynthetic pathways and to express heterologous proteins of biomedical relevance. The aim of this book is to provide some background information about the potential of in vitro cultures for conducting phytofermentations and for molecular farming. Also, the application of in vitro cultures for the production of the steroidal glycoalkaloid solasodine by Solanum eleagnifolium Cav. and the catalytic antibo
