In Vitro Cultures for the Production of Secondary Metabolites

“…They influence the color, generally yellow, of flowers and fruits where they can be found as glycosides diluted in cell juice except for anthocyanidines and their glucosides (anthocyanins) that are red, purple, or blue depending on the pH of cell juice [17]. The flavonoids content in plants depends not only on the genotype but is also closely related to environmental conditions especially by light radiation such as UV; the latter, in fact, induces a significant increase of flavonoids in leaves [18,19].…”
