<b>Production of pigments in <i>Alternanthera sessilis</i> calli mediated by plant growth regulators and light

Abstract: ABSTRACT. Among the compounds produced by plants, pigments such as betalains have received attention from both food and pharmaceuticals industries. The Alternanthera sessilis species produces these pigments, though in small quantities, and so it is necessary to increase production. Thus, many studies use elicitors that are capable of triggering physiological or morphological responses in plants. The objective was to establish callus production in A. sessilis grown under different combinations of growth regulat… Show more

“…To date, obtaining betalains and purifying them from whole plants have depended directly on availability throughout the year and on environmental variables that affect their production (Khan et al ., ). Other methods used are by a semi‐synthesis method, which requires obtaining betalamic acid from the degradation of betanin (Gandía‐Herrero et al ., ), or the production of betalains in plant cell cultures (Guadarrama‐Flores et al ., ; Milech et al ., ; Henarejos‐Escudero et al ., ). However, the main problem these techniques present is their low efficiency in the production of pure betalains.…”
