Book excerpt: Lack of effective therapeutics for the most of viral diseases, emergence of antiviral drug resistance, and high cost of some antiviral therapies necessitate finding new effective antiviral compounds. Additionally, the existing antiviral therapies are not always well-tolerated or quite effective and satisfactory. Hence, the increasing requirement for antiviral substances will be more highlighted. Plants as a rich source of phytochemicals with different biological activities including antiviral activities are in interest of scientists. Tissue culture has given an alternative mean for production of medicinally important secondary metabolites in controlled condition. This gives a uniforformity in production of these compounds and also save green cover and ultimately serves as a tool for ecosystem balance
