<p>The present invention provides for a method of enhancing a specific biological activity of a plant containing at least one physiologically active metabolite, comprising the steps of (a) collecting a plurality of samples of said plant; (b) cultivating each of said samples under at least a first set of defined conditions to produce matured plants of each of said samples; (c) processing each of said matured plants under at least a first set of defined conditions to obtain plant material of each of said matured plants; (d) determining said specific biological activity of each of said plant material by means of at least one biological assay to obtain a ranking of said plant materials indicating plant materials with a higher specific biological activity; (e) selecting said plant materials with a higher specific biological activity to identify elite plants; (f) multiplying at least one of said elite plants; (g) cultivating said elite plants under at least a first set of defined conditions to produce matured plants of said elite plants; (h) repeating at least once a sequence of said steps (c)-(g) with said matured plants of said elite plants of each previous sequence.</p> |
