Özet:

Medicinal aromatic plants, which are source of secondary metabolites, have been used for treatment and other purposes since ancient times. In recent years, people have preferred medicinal and aromatic herbs to be healthy. Plant tissue culture methods have the potential to produce medicinal compounds such as secondary metabolites from plants as an alternative to traditional agriculture. Increasing population and increasing demand for herbal products, unconscious collection and illegal trade cause the extinction of medicinal plants in natural habitats. Therefore, it is important to cultivate medicinal and aromatic plants to protect biodiversity and endangered species. As a result, plant tissue culture methods are an alternative way for propagation of medically and economically important plants, the production of bioactive components for the pharmaceutical industry, and the production of medically important secondary metabolites.
