“…It belongs to the Moringaceae family that has only one genus called Moringa with 13 species (Steinitz et al 2009). The most famous Moringa species are Moringa oleifera and Moringa peregrina (Lalas et al 2012). M. peregrina is distributed in tropical and non-tropical areas.…”

Moringa peregrina is an endangered species of Moringaceae. M. peregrina is a multipurpose tree with a wide variety of potential uses including its medicinal activity. In our study, a rapid and efficient micropropagation protocol for M. peregrina has been established. In vitro germinated seedlings were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with different levels of either 6-benzyladenine (BA) or kinetin (Kin). The maximum shoot proliferation of 6.5 shoots per explant with 100 % shoot proliferation rate was observed on MS medium supplemented with 1.0 mg/l BA. On the other hand, MS medium supplemented with 1 mg/l indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) resulted in the maximum number of roots. Micropropagated plants were successfully acclimatized. Genetic stability of micropropagated plants was assessed using Inter-Simple Sequence Repeat (ISSR). The amplification products were monomorphic in all in vitro grown plants. No polymorphism was detected indicating the genetic integrity of in vitro propagated plants. This micropropagation protocol could be useful for raising genetically uniform plants for plant propagation and commercial cultivation.

“…M. peregrina is distributed in tropical and non-tropical areas. Egypt, Ethiopia to Somalia, Sudan, the Red Sea region, Palestine and Jordan are the main centers of distribution (Lalas et al 2012). It has been shown that M. peregrina has high aridity adaptation with short germination time after irrigation.…”

“…This report agreed with the present work in which, water extract of M. stenopetala seeds was equivalent in effectiveness to crude 80% methanol extract of the seeds against S. aureus with MIC value of 1.25mg/ml and it is also equivalent in effectiveness with crude 80% methanol extract of the seeds and ethyl acetate extract of root barks against E. coli, ethyl acetate extract of stem barks against S. aureus and chloroform extract of root barks against S. boydii at MIC value of 10mg/ml. Lalas et al (2012) analyzed antibacterial activity of nhexane extract of Moringa peregrina seeds with MIC value of 4.5mg/ml against S. aureus. Busani et al (2012) also reported that, acetone extract of M. oleifera leaves inhibited the growth of S. aureus at MIC value of 5mg/ml.…”

An emerging of antibiotic resistance brings most serious public health problems. It is therefore, important to look for more effective, safer and less toxic alternate options of treatment. The aim of the present study was to investigate antibacterial activ stenopetala against some human pathogenic bacteria using disk diffusion method and agar dilution for minimum inhibitory concentration. The result revealed that, most of the plant extracts had antibacterial activity. Staphylococcus aureus susceptible bacteria to crude 80% methanol extract of seeds and ethyl acetate extract of root barks with inhibition zones of 18.66±0.88mm and 16.00±1.15mm and minimum inhibitory concentration of 1.25mg/ml and 2.5mg/ml respectively, wh aeruginosa was the most resistant bacteria to all of crude extracts. Similarly, Staphylococcus aureus was the most susceptible bacterial strain to chloroform fraction with inhibition diameter of 28.00±0.57mm and minimum inhibitory concent while Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the most resistant strain with inhibition zone of 9.66±0.33mm and minimum inhibitory concentration of10mg/ml respectively. In conclusion, this study is not only proves antibacterial activity of scientific basis for their traditional use. Pure chemical compounds and antimicrobial activity against many fungi and bacteria should be studied to use them as sources and templates for synthesis of drugs to control infectious diseases.

“…Antimicrobial activities of M. peregrine oil extracted from seeds were fully studied. The oil had inhibitory effects on Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Enterobacter cloacae, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Candida albicans, C. tropicalis and C. glabrata (Lalas et al, 2002). The chemical properties of M. peregrina were studied by El-Batran et al (2005).…”

The genus Moringa was the family of Moringaceae and Moringa oleifera and Moringa peregrina are the most famous species of Moringa. M. peregrina is widely grown in Saudi Arabia, Iran and India. Therefore, based on these reports, this study aimed to investigate the first systematic attempt to regulate the genetic diversity of the species M. peregrina in Saudi Arabian samples collected from several geographic locations using internal transcribed sequences. Genomic DNA was separated by CTAB extraction method and PCR was performed. Later on, DNA sequencing was performed for PCR products with ITS. In conclusion, the present study affords the first report on genetic stability of M. peregrina using ITS analysis in Saudi Arabia. Further studies are suggested in order to study in different regions.
