Abstract
Plant hormones are small molecules resulting from various essential metabolic pathways that play a critical role in the regulation of plant growth and development. The majority of plant species are the rich source of valuable bioactive compounds, where these compounds actively participate in various aspects of biosynthesis such as drugs, fragrances, flavor, dye, pigments, and pesticides. The dynamic role of bioactive compounds on a commercial scale surrounds the interest of the researchers and pharmaceutical industry. Therefore, it is a prerequisite to explore new species that produce these compounds beyond its flora. For this, several strategies were explored keeping the objective of bioactive compounds. In recent, the induction of adventitious roots by different PGRs and culturing the production of highly valuable compounds in several endangered plant species are practicing. The adventitious roots establish from cutting not only reduce pressure on natural populations but also helps in the conservation of these species and it can further be utilized for the production of bioactive compounds to up-scale the agricultural and pharmaceutical industries. Thus overall, these extinct species playing a beneficial role in our ecosystem as well as expand the area of new drug discovery for the welfare of human beings. Based on this limelight, the current review article focused on summarizing the application of plant growth regulator, especially auxin and cytokinin, and the progress made in the recent past in the area of initiation and establishment of adventitious root cultures for the production of bioactive compounds in laboratory conditions of biologically endangered and medicinally valuable species.
