Summary
Plant secondary metabolites are crucial for medicinal, cosmetic, and industrial applications. These metabolites, including phenolic compounds, alkaloids, and terpenoids, accumulate in response to environmental stresses. Plant cell culture technologies, such as hairy roots, callus, and suspension cultures, are effective for studying and producing these compounds. Elicitation, the application of stress to stimulate metabolite production, can be achieved using endogenous or exogenous molecules, either in vivo (directly to the whole plant) or in vitro (within controlled cell culture environments). This special issue will focus on both physiological aspects of metabolite accumulation and the influence of stressors on the phytochemical profiles of aromatic and medicinal plant species. We invite review articles, original research papers, and short communications exploring the regulation and production of plant secondary metabolites under various stress conditions.
