Conservation of medicinal plants of Western Ghats, India and its sustainable utilization through in vitro technology

Abstract: Climate change, alien species, and use of land for intensive farming and development are causing severe threat to the plant genetic diversity worldwide. Hence, conservation of biodiversity is considered fundamental and also provides the livelihoods to millions of people worldwide. Medicinal plants play a key role in the treatment of a number of diseases, and they are only the source of medicine for majority of people in the developing world. The tropical regions of the world supply the bulk of current global d… Show more

“…Habitat destruction for agricultural purposes and low seed viability is a major concern for the propagation of these plants. Plant tissue culture techniques are useful for mass multiplication of threatened medicinal plants (Rout et al 2000;Krishnan et al 2011). Consequently, the present investigation is concerned to establish axenic cultures of medicinal plant Artemisia nilagirica var.…”

“…Besides, they also serve as an alternate source of plant raw materials for commercial utilization, which lessens pressure on the plant population in wild habitat (Krishnan et al 2011). To date, only a few reports on in vitro plant regeneration of H. coronarium through callus mediated somatic embryogenesis from sheaths and leaves (Huang and Tsai 2002) or rhizome (Verma and Bansal 2012) and axenic shoot tip (Bisht et al 2012) are available.…”

“…Las especies del género Cinchona y, entre estas, Cinchona officinalis ) al igual que muchas otras especies de importancia medicinal (Krishnan et al 2011;Mohanty et al 2013) se están viendo afectadas por causas como el cambio climático y la modificación del ecosistema. Esto puede estar provocando erosión genética (Rivera et al 2008) y disminución de las poblaciones naturales, haciendo que las que las especies se conviertan en vulnerables o amenazadas (Holobiuc et al 2009;Krishnan et al 2011), peligrando la permanencia en su hábitat natural.…”

La conservación de las especies vegetales requiere de un enfoque integrado y complementario de las estrategias de conservación in situ y ex situ (Holobiuc et al 2009;Pence 2010).…”
