Abstract
Plant sources offer a great diversity of chemicals. More than 30,000 different chemical moieties are known to be produced by plants. The question is whether some or even any of these chemicals can be more economically produced by plant cell suspension culture than by traditional field grown plants. Suspension culture has a number of distinct advantages over field derived plant sources, including better control and year around availability. The concern, however, is expense. What are the major bottlenecks to economic plant cell suspension culture? Can they be significantly reduced?
