echium amoenum fisch. and c.a. mey. (boraginaceae) is a very popular medicinal plant which is used as a tonic, tranquillizer, diaphoretic, cough remedy, sore throat and pneumonia in iran’s traditional medicine. callus culture of medicinal plants is one of the ways for production of secondary metabolites. in this study, callus culture of e. amoenum and its major secondary metabolite were investi...

Acid extract of Solanum tuberosum was tested as corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in 1 M HCl and H2SO4 media using different techniques: Weight loss (in different temperatures viz., 303, 313 and 323 K), Potentiodynamic polarization, Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) and SEM techniques. The studies reveal that the plant extract act as good inhibitors in both...

the first successful and an efficient regeneration system on in vitro direct plant regeneration of agastache foeniculum was reported. the experiment were done in factorial design with three replications and explants were cultured in ms media fortified with different concentrations of bap and tdz (0, 2.2, 4.4, 8.8 μm) in combination with 3 levels of iaa (0, 1.1 and 2.2 μm). anova analysis showed...

Purpose: Rauwolfia serpentina (L.) Benth, from the family, Apocynaceae, is an important medicinal plant due to the alkaloid content of its root. The purpose of this study was to obtain roots directly from leaf explant using growth regulators. Methods: The leaf explant was inoculated on MS (Murashige and Skoog) medium supplemented with single and combinations of growth regulators. Root growth wa...

Introduction: Despite extensive studies about effects of Crataegus monogyna on cardiovascular diseases yet, a few study has been undertaken antiarrhythmic property of this plant. Aims of the present study were: 1) To determine the protective role of methanolic extract of C.monogyna on the rate-dependent model and the concealed conduction . 2) To explore the role of Na+-K+ A TPase in the protect...

plant regeneration was achieved in verbascum speciosum schard. via organogenesis and somatic embryogenesis by culture of mature embryo explants. two types of calli, embryogenic and non-embryogenic, were induced from mature embryo explants on murashige and skoog (ms) medium supplemented with different concentrations of benzyl adenine (ba) and α-naphthalene acetic acid (naa). in order to further ...

Here, efficient plantlet regeneration via somatic embryogenesis from Panax quinquefolium hairy roots was reported. Callus development was optimal on MS medium containing 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (1 mg l) and -naphthalene acetic acid (1 mg l). After a 4-week growth, calli were transferred onto MS medium with different combinations of plant growth regulators (PGRs). The highest embryogenesi...

Leaf, seed, and tuber explants of C. latifolia were inoculated on MS medium supplemented with various concentrations of BAP and IBA, alone or in combinations, to achieve in vitro plant regeneration. Subsequently, antioxidant and antibacterial activities were determined from in vitro and in vivo plant developed. No response was observed from seed culture on MS media with various concentrations o...

in the present study, an efficient protocol has been developed for callus induction and production of ra in callus culture of satureja khuzistanica for the first time. in vitro callus induction was achieved from young shoot tip explants cultured on ms and b5 media supplemented with different concentrations of iba (0.1, 1.0, 2.0 and 5.0 mgl-1) solely or in combination with cytokinins bap and kin...

Hairy roots culture is a potential system for secondary metabolite production in medicinal plants. In this research, hairy root induction in Echinacea angustifolia was established using Agrobacterium rhizogenes. The effects of dif-ferent A. rhizogenes strains (AR15834, A4, K599 and MSU440) in two solid growth regula-tor-free culture media, half strength MS salts with B5 vitamins and WPM, were e...
