Micropropagation of Vetiver Grass - A Review

Abstract

Plants and plant materials have long been employed in traditional herbal remedies. In recent decades, natural resource demand has surged by 8–15% each year in Asia, North America, and Europe. Vetiver is a plant that produces essential oils and is widely used in perfumery, cosmetics, and herbal medicine. The utilisation of controlled conditions can help overcome traditional cultivation challenges and may be used to modify phenotypic variance in the concentration of bioactive chemicals. The goal is to improve extract potency, minimise toxin levels, and improve extract consistency and predictability. In this review, an attempt has been made to present in vitro propagation approaches used in vetiver.
