Transformation in Catharanthus Species (Madagascar Periwinkle)
1993Secondary metabolite production by plant cell cultures has been the subject of many investigations. Indole alkaloids such as ajmalicine, an antihypertensive drug, or vinblastine and vincristin, two antitumor compounds produced by Catharanthus roseus, are very important in the pharmaceutical industry.
