Mycorrhizal elicitation of secondary metabolites in hairy roots of Ocimum basilicum

\n\t\t\t\t\tMycorrhiza, a symbiotic soil fungus was identified as a biotic elicitor of antioxidant compounds found in the plant roots. <i>In vitro</i> developed technique and bioresources carry potential towards formation of biological and biochemical factories for application in the agricultural and pharmaceutical industries.\n\t\t\t\t
