“…Among the strategies used for improving the production of PDSM in CSC is the modification in the culture media composition (different carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorous sources) for optimizing the nutrient availability during the culture time [6,9], and the use of biotic or abiotic elicitors that trigger the defense response from plant cells promoting the secondary metabolism through the introduction of chemical or physical stresses [7,51,95]. Biotic elicitors are complex compounds derived from biological sources, including plant-derived polysaccharides, such as pectin and cellulose, and microbial-derived polysaccharides, such as chitin and glucan [6,44], and plant immune-signaling molecules, such as jasmonic acid [96], salicylic acid [97,98], and methyl jasmonate [96]. Abiotic elicitors include inorganic salts, heavy metals, UV irradiation, high salinity, and pressure [99].…”
