The SteviaNanoBiotech project aims to optimize the in vitro propagation processes of Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni to accumulate needed biologically active secondary metabolites (BASM). Nanofibers can be used for the supply of biologically active agents (ВАА), that favourably affect plant development and accumulation of BASM.
The project includes various interdisciplinary (chemical, biotechnological, biochemical and phytochemical) approaches for characterization and evaluation Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni micropropagation and growth as well as BASM production affected by a new type of nanofibers, formed by newly synthesized low molecular weight peptidomimetics. In some of the experimental series, these nanofibers will carry ВАА (silver or plant growth regulators). These issues will be a fundamental base for further investigations concerning the implementation of technology with a positive effect on pharmaceutical products and modern health management technologies.
