In vitro propagation and characterization of phenolic content along with antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of Cichorium pumilum Jacq.

Improved micropropagation of Bacopa monnieri (L.) Wettst. (Plantaginaceae) and antimicrobial activity of in vitro and ex vitro raised plants against multidrug-resistant clinical isolates of urinary tract infecting (UTI) and respiratory tract infecting (RTI) bacteria

“…With a similar approach, a comparative study was conducted by few researchers in recent past [41][42][43][44]. Some of them reported the in vitro plants exhibited more antimicrobial activity as compared to ex vitro plants [42,43], whereas the majority of them reported ex vitro plants are superior or more or less comparable as compare to in vitro plants [41,44]. The in vitro plants, producing secondary metabolites at a primary stage of growth, provides an opportunity for fast production of pharmacologically important compounds that can be utilized for medicinal purposes [41].…”

Enhancement of phenolic compounds production in in vitro grown Rumex cyprius Murb.

“…High seed germination rate on MS medium was observed, possibly because of lower salt concentration in the MS compared to that in full MS. Zeng et al (2012) showed that Paphiopedilum wardii seeds prefer low salt medium for germination. Similarly, MS was used for germination of many species including Paphiopedilum delenatii (Nhut et al 2005), Bobgunnia madagascarensis (Thokozani et al 2011), Cichorium pumilum (Al Khateeb et al 2012) and Tabebuia impetiginosa (Vieira et al 2010).…”

“…In vitro propagation solved these problems along others. It is possible now to multiply these plants in the laboratory from little explants (Tripathi and Tripathi 2003;Al Khateeb et al 2012). This will allow access to significant quantities within desired time and with less effort.…”

Light-induced fluctuations in biomass accumulation, secondary metabolites production and antioxidant activity in cell suspension cultures of Artemisia absinthium L.

“…Additionally, several reports are available on phenolics related antioxidant activity in the in vitro cultures of different plants [45][46][47][48]. In conclusion, light-grown suspension cultures of A. absinthium L. are potential entities for enhanced accumulation of phenolics.…”
