The species Solanum torvum SW -Turkey berry an ethnomedicinal plant is used as vegetable and also used as ethanomedicine. The fresh fruits are used as regular dietary supplement can control blood pressure, diabetes, set right the disorders of the kidney, liver and generate more healthy juices in the pancreas. Turkey berry contains a number of pharmacologically active potential chemicals including the sapogenin steroid, chlorogenin. Extracts of the plant are reported to be useful in the treatment of pimples, treatment of gastric ulcer, skin diseases, leprosy and hyperactivity, colds and cough. In this book we review on invitro regeneration such as callus induction, micropropagation, organogenesis, somatic embryogenesis, and also NaCl/KCl tolerance, antibiotic resistance and Agrobacterium mediated genetic transformation for its conservation and improvement of S. torvum. Since it has importance in Ayurveda, the biotechnological techniques developed in the present investigations can be utilized for the production of secondary metabolites (bioactive molecules) e.g. glycoalkaloids round the year, which are anticancerous and also used in the preparation of oral contraceptives. The plant can also be used as a model system for introducing different types of novel genes using reproducible regeneration protocols in the field of molecular farming as a plant factory for production of plant made pharmaceuticals. Based on our review on in vitro reproducible direct regeneration protocol, an ethnomedicinally important plant S. torvum can be used as model system (organism) as like as tobacco and cress plants.
