OverviewAI-generated summary
Salma Abdel-Karim's research focuses on the production of bioactive compounds from plant hairy root cultures. Her work investigates methods to enhance the yield of specific molecules with potential health applications. Recent publications detail the production of geranylated flavonoids, prenylated isoflavonoids, and pentacyclic triterpenoids in species such as *Dalea purpurea*, *Cajanus cajan*, and *Bixa orellana*.
Abdel-Karim's publications highlight the antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities of these plant-derived compounds. Her recent work, published in 2025 and 2026, explores abiotic elicitation as a strategy to increase the production of these valuable phytochemicals. She collaborates with researchers at Arkansas State University, including Amit Raj Sharma, Mohammad A. Alam, Gaurav Gajurel, and Robert C. Shields, on these studies.
