Hemidesmus indicus (L.) R. Br. (Anantmoola) is an important medicinal plant of India, which being used in many pharmaceutical as well ayurvedic preparations. The present study deals with the development efficient rapid shoot regeneration along their biosynthetic potential. Shoot cultures were established from nodes H. using Murashige and Skoog's (MS) medium fortified sucrose (3%), different concentrations combinations cytokinins viz. benzyladenine (BA) kinetin (Kn), auxins indole-3-acetic...
Portulaca grandiflora, an important medicinal plant was found to show the incidence of shoot tip necrosis (STN) in cultures obtained from nodal explants Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium with 3% sucrose along 8 µM Kinetin 4 BAP. This physiological disorder is primarily due deficiency calcium boron content medium. Thus present work varying concentration which used form boric acid (0.1-0.4 mM), gluconate (3-30 mM) chloride were incorporated MS its effect on STN evaluated. The observations...
Miconazole, a potent antifungal agent, labilizes rat liver lysosomes. Its labilizing effect is followed by measuring the release of lysosomal hydrolases, namely, acid phosphatase, β-glucuronidase, and arylsulfatase A. The miconazole concentration dependent in range 10 −5 to 1.2 × −4 M. However, at higher concentrations, inhibits enzyme but does not inhibit activities per se. depends on drug/lysosome ratio influenced pH incubation media, being minimal alkaline pH. Membrane-active drugs such...
Hemidesmus indicus (L.) R. Br. ex Schult. and Tylophora indica (Burm. F.) Merrill shoot cultures were treated with different concentrations of yeast extract (YE; 25-200 mg/L) salicylic acid (SA; 50-200 µM), their effect on lupeol production was assessed. The maximum dry weight (DW) biomass recorded when H. shoots SA (50 µM) T. YE (200 mg/L). Highest yield (335.40 ± 0.04 µg/g DW) obtained in after treatment 50 µM for 3 weeks. Whereas indica, content (584.26 8.14 by giving 25 μM 6
Hemidesmus indicus (Asclepiadaceae) leaf explants were utilized for establishing culture in MS medium fortified with individual cytokinins, auxins, and their combinations. Optimum response (80%) was observed N6-benzyladenine (BA, 20 μM) + indole-3-acetic acid (IAA, 1 19.67 ± 0.81 shoots per explant. Roots induced ¼MS indole-3-butyric (IBA, μM).
Desmodium gangeticum (L.) belonging to family Fabaceae is an economically important medicinal plant which isutilised in Dashmoolarishta. Various bioactive compounds have been isolated from whole and roots, one of them phenolic compound – caffeic acid (CA). This its derivatives antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticarcinogenic hepatocarcinoma, a highly aggressive causing considerable mortality across the world. In present study, leaf explants were placed on MS medium fortified with different...
The cotyledonary node and nodal explants Stereospermum suaveolens DC. were cultured on Woody Plant medium (WPM) supplemented with individual BAP 2?25 ?M), Kn (2?25 ?M) TDZ (0.1?2 ?M. Observations revealed that in both explants, lower concentrations of cytokinins (BAP/Kn/TDZ) effective inducing proliferation response. axillary bud the proliferated into single shoots which further subcultured fresh respective for shoot multiplication. It was observed multiple developed only presence (8 but...
In vivo nodes of Hemidesmus indicus (L.) R. Br. induced healthy multiple shoots with branching in our earlier studies and thus the present study, potency vitro to regenerate was evaluated. were excised from eight-week-old placed Murashige Skoog’s (MS) medium fortified sucrose (3%) different concentrations 6-benzyladenine (BA) kinetin (Kn). After eight weeks, optimum 5.42 ± 0.36 100% response regenerated supplemented BA (10 µM) Kn (5 µM). These full, half quarter strengths liquid MS (1%)...
