Effects of Plant Elicitors on Growth and Gypenosides Biosynthesis in Cell Culture of Giao co lam (Gynostemma pentaphyllum)
Giao co lam (Gynostemma pentaphyllum (Thunb.) Makino) is used in Northeast and Southeast Asia countries for the treatment of various diseases, including hepatitis, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
