“…The T. erecta callus were successfully induced with a combination of BAP and NAA at a concentration of 8 μM, similar to the results of previous studies by Benítez-García et al (2014) and Munshi et al (2021), although Belarmino et al (1992) reported difficulty in regenerating callus from leaf explant. The browning of T. erecta callus in media supplemented with 2, 4-D could be caused by the oxidation of phenolic compounds, leading to cell death (Khosroushahi et al, 2011;Vijayalakhsmi & Shourie, 2017).…”

Ornamental plants (OPs) are beneficial to remove, control and reduce heavy metals (HMs) in a process called 'phytoremediation'. This study evaluated the in vitro system-based phytoremediation properties of Tagetes erecta and Gomphrena globosa calli. Leaves from in vitro seed-grown T. erecta and G. globosa were used as an explant source for callus culture. Callus culture was found optimal in MS medium supplemented with 8 μM BAP + NAA for T. erecta and 2 μ M 2, 4-D for G. globosa. These plants were grown in their respective optimized (controlled) medium enriched with different amounts (50, 100, 150, 200, and 250 μM) of Cadmium (Cd) added in the form of Cadmium chloride (CdCl2). The in vitro calli developed were evaluated for Cd stress tolerance based on callus diameter, growth tolerance index (GTI) and catalase (CAT) activity. Over four weeks, the callus diameters of T. erecta and G. globosa grown in different concentrations of Cd had lower growth than that of the controlled one. On the other hand, the GTI measured were greatest at 150 μM of Cd for both T. erecta (130.95%) and G. globosa (149.32%) suggesting a potential Cd tolerance. However, the CAT activity in T. erecta callus increased with the Cd concentration peaking at 150 µM then started declining while G. globosa callus showed the highest CAT activity at 50 μM of Cd. Thus, T. erecta callus showed greater Cd tolerance with the prospect of utilizing it for phytoremediation. The study also suggests growing T. erecta at 150 μM Cd for tolerant calli.

“…It's a great source of flavonoids, terpenoids, glycosides and tannins, among other classes of bioactive natural compounds [11][12][13]. Numerous antifungal properties of selected plant extracts such as Azadirachta indica, Lantana camara, Moringa oleifera, Wedelia chinensis and Coccinia grandis have outstanding antifungal properties [14][15][16][17][18][19] as well as other numerous properties have been studied [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29]. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to examine the antifungal properties of various plant extracts, Azadirachta indica, Lantana camara, Moringa oleifera, Wedelia chinensis and Coccinia grandis on leather-borne fungi.…”

This investigation aims to examine the antimicrobial properties of a few types of medicinal plants on fungi transmitted by leather. In the soxhlet method, the antifungal agents were successfully extracted from the leaves of Azadirachta indica, Lantana camara, Wedelia chinensis, Moringa oleifera and Coccinia grandis using methanolic solvent. The fungus isolates from leather bags, shoes and wallets were cultured in Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) plates. The two leather-borne fungi Aspergillus sp. and Penicillium sp. were the targets of the antifungal assay. Here plant extracts were applied in concentrations of 5.0%, 10.0% and 15.0%. Azadirachta indica, Moringa oleifera and Lantana camara extract were the most successful treatments for inhibiting the controlled growth of the fungi under this investigation. Furthermore, it is stated that the pathogenic fungi's capacity to proliferate increases with the concentration of plant extracts in the culture. This two-plant showed promising results in treating two cases of fungus, suggesting that it may be used to treat fungi carried by leather.
