Gamma radiation and methyl jasmonate effects on regeneration and phytochemical constituent of vanilla planifolia cultures / Ellia Kartini Mujar

Vanilla is a commercially valuable plant that produces vanillin, an aromatic compound that is widely used in cosmetics, foods, beverages and pharmaceutics. The high demand of vanilla is caused by the difficult propagation of 'hand-pollination' method that is hard labor and time consuming....
