“…According to Swain et al [81], luffa seed oils showed effectiveness against a wide range of bacteria (e.g., S. aureus, S. epidermidis, Micrococcus leutius, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and E. coli), while in all the cases the obtained MIC values were lower than the positive control used. Similarly, the reports for the antibacterial effects of purslane are limited, especially for seed oils [82][83][84][85]. According to Tayel et al [86], purslane seed extracts were only effective against normal S. aureus strains, while Bakkiyaraj and Pandiyaraj [87] also recorded effectiveness of leaf extracts against S. aureus, B. aureus, and P. aeruginosa.…”

In the present study, the antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities, as well as the fatty acids composition in vegetable seed oils from linseed, purslane, luffa, and pumpkin were evaluated. For this purpose, two linseed oils and one luffa oil were commercially obtained, while purslane and pumpkin oils were obtained from own cultivated seeds. The results showed a variable fatty acids composition among the tested oils, with α-linolenic, linoleic, oleic, palmitic, and stearic acid being the most abundant compounds. In regards to particular oils, linseed oils were a rich source of α-linolenic acid, luffa and pumpkin oil were abundant in linoleic acid, while purslane oil presented a balanced composition with an almost similar amount of both fatty acids. Luffa oil was the most effective against two of the tested cancer cell lines, namely HeLa (cervical carcinoma) and NCI-H460 (non-small cell lung cancer), while it also showed moderate toxicity against non-tumor cells (PLP2 cell line). Regarding the antibacterial activity, linseed oil 3 and pumpkin oil showed the highest activity against most of the tested bacteria (especially against Enterobacter cloacae and Escherichia coli) with MIC and MBC values similar to the used positive controls (E211 and E224). All the tested oils showed significant antifungal activities, especially luffa and pumpkin oil, and for most of the tested fungi they were more effective than the positive controls, as for example in the case of Aspergillus versicolor, A. niger, and Penicillium verrucosum var. cyclopium. In conclusion, the results of our study showed promising antimicrobial and cytotoxic properties for the studied seed oils which could be partly attributed to their fatty acids composition, especially the long-chain ones with 12–18 carbons.

“…Shekhawat et al [51] reported an efficient in vitro regeneration method for purslane using a liquid medium, where the explants used were shoots with one and two nodes, obtaining a rooting efficiency rate of 96%. Oraibi et al [52] reported success in efficiently inducing callus from purslane leaves, with subsequent production of extracts from the callus that presented antibacterial activity.…”

Portulaca oleracea L., popularly known as purslane, is an herbaceous succulent plant classified as one of the most important invasive weeds in the world. Due to its high nutritional level and wide range of pharmacological effects, involving anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antioxidant, and antiulcerogenic, purslane is one of the medicinal species listed by the World Health Organization. In addition, purslane produces several phytochemicals, including flavonoids, alkaloids, and terpenoids, which confer different pharmacological activities and make the plant highly attractive for use in the most diverse industries. It has high adaptability to extreme soil conditions, able to grow and spread in environments under drought stress, salinity, and poor nutrients; and has been presented as a potential model plant to study resistance to abiotic stresses. Among other purslane traits of interest to the agriculture sector, is worth to mention phytoremediation and allelopathy, thus being a sustainable alternative in organic agriculture. Here, we report a bibliometric analysis of purslane in vitro tissue culture and genetic modification/editing, and discuss opportunities and limitations to exploit the biotechnological potential of purslane as a source of valuable bio-molecules for many different industries.

“…The medium containing 1 mg / l BAP and 1 mg / l 2, 4-D hormones produced more callus from hairy roots. [27] illustrated that 3.0 mg / l 2, 4-D combined with 0.5 mg / l kin achieved the highest percentage callus induction, callus fresh weight, and callus dry weight from leaves explant [28]. The best callus initiation achieved by nodal segments on MS medium containing 2.0 mg / l BA and 2.0 mg / l NAA [29].…”

Purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.) is a plant that is distributed widely around the world. It contains many secondary metabolites that are used in treatment of many diseases. The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of plant growth regulators on calli induction, and the subsequent experiments were conducted to investigate the influence of biotic (Fusarium oxysporum) and abiotic elicitation (Mannitol) on active constituents of P. oleracea . The results showed that the best calli induced from the stem explant of P. oleracea on Murashige and Skoog's medium with benzyl adenine 1 mg / L and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid 0.25 mg / L. On the other hand, Alkaloids became 280 mg / g in a treated calli with 1 % filtrate of fungal and (100 mil Mol) mannitol after being 140 mg / g in dry powder of calli. Flavonoids became 340 mg / g in a treated calli with 1 % filtrate of fungal with 150 mM mannitol after being 180 mg / g in dry powder of calli. Tannins became 180 mg / g in a treated calli with 1.5% filtrate of fungal only after being 180 mg / g in dry powder of calli. Elicitation studies have a promising effect in increasing yields of the secondary metabolites in P. oleracea .
