Application of Organic Nanofibers to Boost Specialized Metabolite Production and Antioxidant Potential in <i>Stevia rebaudiana</i> In Vitro Cultures.

ABSTRACT: Background: Potential advantages for improving plant growth, stress tolerance, and valuable metabolites generation are provided by the implementation of nanotechnology into plant biotechnology. A recently discovered technique with significant promise for agricultural practices is the use of biopolymer-based nanomaterials, like peptidomimetics, as insecticides, growth regulators, and nutrient carriers. This study explores the impact of biopolymer-based organic nanofibers-specifically peptidomimetics formed through the self-assembly of L-valine and nicotinic acid (NA) (denoted as M6) on Stevia rebaudiana in vitro propagation and specialized metabolite production. The central hypothesis was that such nanofibers, particularly when used as hormone carriers, can beneficially influe
