Extreme climates, In vitro culture, Plant variety, Secondary metabolitesAbstract
Drastic climate changes and the increasing demand for agro-industrial products necessitate innovations in agriculture. This article is based on the premise that in vitro culture techniques offer solutions by developing plant varieties that are resilient to drastic environmental changes and capable of producing secondary metabolites beneficial to various industries. This article aims to review research findings related to plant varieties that withstand extreme climatic conditions and produce secondary metabolites through in vitro culture techniques, and to evaluate the potential of in vitro cultured plants in supporting various industrial sectors. The methodology involves an integrated literature review from various journals, relevant literature, and references, covering plant variety selection, evaluation of plant resilience, and analysis of secondary metabolite production. The results indicate that plant varieties developed through in vitro culture show resilience to extreme climatic conditions such as temperature stress, drought, and salinity, and are capable of producing secondary metabolites like alkaloids, flavonoids, and terpenoids more quickly than non-in vitro plants. The conclusion is that the implementation of in vitro culture can be used to develop plant varieties that are resistant to extreme climates and capable of producing secondary metabolites useful for various industries.
