Abstract
Plants and plant materials have long been employed in traditional herbal
remedies. In recent decades, natural resource demand has surged by 8–15% each year
in Asia, North America, and Europe. Vetiver is a plant that produces essential oils and
is widely used in perfumery, cosmetics, and herbal medicine. The utilisation of
controlled conditions can help overcome traditional cultivation challenges and may be
used to modify phenotypic variance in the concentration of bioactive chemicals. The
goal is to improve extract potency, minimise toxin levels, and improve extract
consistency and predictability. In this review, an attempt has been made to present in
vitro propagation approaches used in vetiver.
