- Abstract
This article, titled "Editorial: Plant cell factories: current and future uses of plant cell cultures," discusses the cultivation of plants and plant cells in vitro and its applications in various fields such as basic research, crop improvement, species preservation, and the production of valuable compounds. The article highlights the potential of plant cell cultures and the advancements in bioprocess engineering that have rekindled interest in using plants and plant cells as "factories." It also explores different types of bioreactors for cultivating plant cells and discusses the use of plant cells for producing recombinant proteins and secondary metabolites. The article emphasizes the importance of characterizing cell lines and optimizing bioprocesses for commercial production. Additionally, it mentions the use of hairy root cultures and the proteomic analysis of these roots to understand their effects on plant metabolism. The article concludes by acknowledging the need for further research and alternative strategies in plant cell culture production systems.
