platform for the production of numerous valuable secondary
compounds. Currently, in vitro culture techniques involve both
empirical and rational approaches as suitable strategies to condition
high metabolite production and establish competitive plant cell-based
bioprocesses. In this context, we have developed hairy root cultures of
Panax ginseng, and engineered hairy root cultures of Duboisia,
Datura metel and Hyoscyamus spp and plant cell cultures of Centella
asiatica and Taxus spp. This chapter describes our work on the
development of two different biotechnological systems to improve
taxol production in cell suspension cultures of Taxus spp and
ginsenoside production in hairy root cultures of Panax ginseng
