Tissue culture methods offer an alternative means of plant vegetative propagation. The rapid progress in the area of crop biotechnology is mainly because of the development of efficient regeneration and suitable Agrobacterium-mediated transformation protocols for different crop species. Similar success can be achieved in medicinal plants by developing efficient regeneration and Agrobacterium-mediated transformation protocols, which in turn could be used for the enhancement of their secondary metabolite content.
