tissue culture is an attractive alternative for plant propagation. micropropagation is a technique to ensure a constant and uniform source of ornamental plants. matthiola incana is an important ornamental species mainly cultivate by seed. matthiola incana seeds were germinated on solid ms medium without plant growth regulators. shoot proliferation and root formation are possible using kinetin (...

Andrographis lineata Nees (Acanthaceae) is an endemic herb rich in flavonoids and diterpenoids which have pharmaceutical importance. Seedling explants source has not been studied for micropropagation and hence the present investigation has been taken up. An efficient protocol was developed for aseptic seed germination and in vitro shoot multiplication from different aseptic seedling explants. 3...

who recommends artemisinin-based combination therapies (acts) as the most effective choice to treat malaria. for developing transgenic plants with high accumulation of artemisinin (by introducing genes encoding enzymes which regulate the biosynthetic pathway of artemisinin), an efficient protocol for tissue culture and plant regeneration is necessary. in the present study, leaf explants of arte...

Studies were conducted on the effect of amino acids and growth regulators on the production of artemisinin, an antimalarial compound, in the callus of Artemisia absinthium. Callus was initiated on solid MS medium supplemented with BAP and NAA from leaf explant. For the production of artemisinin, the callus was proliferated on sterile filter paper bridge in MS medium supplemented with different ...

Using cotyledons of 2-week old in vitro germinated seedlings, a rapid and efficient regeneration protocol was established for A. mangium on Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium. Cotyledons showed better direct shoot organogenesis producing maximum 10.88 ± 0.35 shoots per explant when cultured on MS medium supplemented with 2.0 μM BA and 1.0 μM NAA. Full strength of MS medium supplemented with ...

Clerodendrum pholomidis is an important medicinal plant of Lamiaceae. Leaves, internode and petiole explants were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with combinations of 2, 4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2, 4-D), kinetin (kn) and indole-3 butyric acid (IBA). Leaf explants formed clusters of globular somatic embryos directly from epidermal cells within 12-15d when cultured ...

In vitro propagation of Dendrobium macrostachyum, a threatened and endemic species was achieved through nodal explants. The nodal explants were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium and MS medium supplemented with N6-benzyladenine (BA-2.22, 4.44 and 8.88 microM), Kinetin (KN-2.32, 4.65, and 9.29 microM) and Coconut water (CW, 5, 10 and 15%) individually or in combination with 2.69 m...

Lactuca sativa is widely used as a leafy vegetable belonging to the Asteraceae family. Cotyledonary leaves of in vitro lettuce seedlings were transformed by plasmids containing the GCHI gene. Also the effects of number of days of pre-cultivation and co-cultivation of explants were examined on the transformation frequency. After co-cultivation, the explants were transferred onto the regeneration...
