      abstract = {The bioactive compounds of plants have world-wide  applications in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and food  industry with a huge market. In this book, a group of  active researchers have addressed on the most recent  advances in plant cell and organ cultures for the  production of biomass and bioactive compounds using  bioreactors. Tremendous efforts have been made to  commercialize the production of plant metabolites by  employing plant cell and organ cultures in bioreactors.  This book emphasizes on the fundamental topics like  designing of bioreactors for plant cell and organ cultures,  various types of bioreactors including stirred tank,  airlift, photo-bioreactor, disposable bioreactor used for  plant cell and organ cultures and the advantages and  disadvantages of bioreactor cultures. Various strategies  for biomass production and metabolite accumulation have  been discussed in different plant systems including  Korean/Chinese ginseng, Siberian ginseng, Indian ginseng,  Echinacea, St. John?s wort, Noni, Chinese licorice,  Caterpillar fungus and microalgae. Researches on the  industrial application of plant cells and organs with  future prospects as well as the biosafety of biomass  produced in bioreactors are also described. The topics  covered in this book, such as plant cell and organ  cultures, hairy roots, bioreactors, bioprocess techniques,  will be a valuable reference for plant biotechnologists,  plant biologists, pharmacologists, pharmacists, food  technologists, nutritionists, research investigators of  healthcare industry, academia, faculty and students of  biology and biomedical sciences. The multiple examples of  large-scale applications of cell and organ cultures will be  useful and significant to industrial transformation and  real commercialization.},
