Paclitaxel is a highly functionalized diterpenoid that broadly used for the treatment of several cancer types. This valuable specialized metabolite naturally exists in inner bark Taxus species low amounts. The limited-scale production paclitaxel cell cultures has necessitated use elicitors. Recently, methyl-?-cyclodextrin (CD) and coronatine (COR) have been considered to be effective elicitors ...

Abstract Stimulating the production of secondary metabolites by elicitation seems to be an accepted tool in several vitro cultures. In vivo application chemical is, however, much less frequently discussed. The paper summarizes experimental findings on effects jasmonic acid, methyl-jasmonate (MeJa) and salicylic acid (SA) treatments medicinal aromatic plants. Growth behaviour, yield, stress resp...
