Boosting Scopolamine and Atropine Accumulation in Hyoscyamus niger L. Callus Using LED Light and Glycine: An Affordable Approach

Recent studies underscore the significant role of light quality and plant biotechnology in enhancing the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites in various medicinal plants. For instance, Abbasi et al. (2007) explored the light-enhanced production of caffeic acid derivatives in Echinacea purpurea hairy root cultures, demonstrating the potential of controlled light conditions in promoting beneficial compounds. Additionally, research by Acharjee et al. (2022) delved into the alkaloid production from Catharanthus roseus cell cultures, emphasizing plant biotechnological advancements. Various articles noted that light-emitting diodes (LEDs) can influence growth, antioxidant enzyme activity, and metabolite accumulation, further illustrating the intricate relationship between light management and plant health. This body of work highlights innovative strategies for optimizing the production of medicinally valuable phytochemicals.
