Secondary Metabolism
In addition to essential primary metabolites, callus cultures are able to synthesize a wide variety of low-molecular-weight compounds—the secondary metabolites. Based on their biosynthetic origins, plant secondary metabolites can be structurally subdivide

Preface to First Edition
This book is intended to provide a general introduction to this exciting field of plant cell and tissue culture as tool in biotechnology, without overly dwelling on detailed descriptions of all aspects. It is aimed at the newcomer, but will hopefully also stimulate some new ideas for the “old hands” in tissue culture. Nowadays, with the vast amount of information readily available on the internet, our aim was rather to distill and highlight overall trends, deeming that a complete report of each and every tissue culture investigation and publication was neither possible, nor desirable. For some techniques, however, detailed protocols are given. We have tried to be as thorough as possible, and regret if we have inadvertently overlooked any pertinent literature or specific development that belong in this work. The three authors have been associated for many years, and have worked together on various aspects in this field. Without this close interaction, this book would not
