A number of schemes have been proposed to model carbon allocation, as summarized byCannell and Dewar (1994). They postulate that (i) photosynthate is allocated from sources in accordance with assigned sink strengths (Ford and Kiester, 1990;Luxmoore, 1991;Thornley, 1991); (ii) photosynthate is...

terpenoids; biosynthesis; biosources; bioactive compounds; health benefits; industrial applications 1. Introduction Terpenoids, found in almost all classes of living organisms, represent the largest group of natural compounds and have an extraordinary structural diversity, being derived from carbon backbones...
Similarly, a large amount of the monoterpenoid menthol and menthone is produced by mint plants (Mentha spp.). These compounds are stored in glandular trichomes of the epidermis of the mint plant. Monoterpenoid esters, known as pyrethrins, are produced by chrysanthemum plants and are neurotoxic for...
Harnessing the full potential of herbal compounds is hindered by some challenges including limited plant quantities, undomesticated and sometimes rare plant sources, as well as the complexity to synthesise plant-derived active compounds. The production of pharmaceuticals through plant cell culture technologi...
