“…In the present investigation, the TDZ treatment was superior to that of 2-iP and BA in combination with either GA 3 or NAA in terms of inducing the formation of multiple shoots from organogenic callus derived from leaf section and one-node stem base explants of this ornamental shrubby climber Quisqualis indica. This was attributed to the special property of TDZ and NAA to fulfill the capability of the ratios of cytokinin and auxin responses in plant species for achieving adventitious shoot production from callus tissues.…”

“…Quisqualis indica is grown as an ornamental garden plant for it's horizontally orientation to pendulous white, pink and red flowers that give out distinct perfume. The flowers contain high quantity of polyphenol that are believed to be strong antioxidants beneficial for human health [1][2][3]. This species is known to have free radical scavenging activity and alleviating flatulent distension of abdomen like that of the medicinal properties of Terminalia chebula, T. belerica and Emblica officinalis [4][5][6].…”

“…This species is known to have free radical scavenging activity and alleviating flatulent distension of abdomen like that of the medicinal properties of Terminalia chebula, T. belerica and Emblica officinalis [4][5][6]. The plant parts such as roots, flowers and seeds of the plant are used for curing diarrhea, fever, rickets, rheumatism and nephritis [2,7]. The leaves, fruits and seeds of the plant have been used as anthelmintic for expelling round worms and thread worms [8][9][10].…”

Shoot organogenesis and plant regeneration were achieved on callus derived from leaf section and stem base explants of Quisqualis indica (Combretaceae). In vitro cultures were established using nodal segments obtained from mature field-grown shrubby plants. For the development of optimized protocol, different types and concentrations of plant growth regulators were used to induce adventitious shoot regeneration via callus from leaf section and one-node stem base explants obtained from in vitro regenerated micro shoots and direct field-grown newly flush-off shoots. The TDZ was considered to be the best among the cytokinins (6-benzyladenine (BA), 6-(-, dimethylallyamino purine) (2-iP) and thidiazuron (TDZ) added to the Murashige and Skoog's medium (MS) for adventitious shoot productions. A combination of 1.0 mg/L TDZ and 0.5 mg/L GA 3 was most effective in stimulating callus induction and adventitious shoot regeneration from the leaf section derived calli with an average of 6 shoots per callus explant and an average of 8 shoots per callus explant originated from one-node stem base explants. In vitro raised shoots were sub-cultured on MS medium supplemented with 1.0 mg/L BA and 0.5 mg/L GA 3 for further shoot growth. Maximum rooting of in vitro regenerated shoots was obtained on MS medium supplemented with either 0.5 mg/L indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) or indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) individually or a combination of 0.5 mg/L IAA and 0.5 mg/L IBA. Plantlets raised in vitro were acclimatized and subsequently transferred to experimental field.

Background: Bacteria is an important group of human pathogens that causes various types of diseases. Plants are the traditional sources for many chemicals used as pharmaceutical biochemicals, fragrances, food colors and flavors in different countries especially in India. Quisqualis indica Linn. belongs to a family Combretaceae which is commonly known as Rangoon creeper has great medicinal values. Objective: To analyze the chemical constituents present in different solvent extracts of Q. indica using gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) and evaluation of their antibacterial activities against human pathogens. Method: The dried aerial part of plant was extracted using three solvents like methanol, ethyl acetate and hexane at room temperature for 6 hours separately and antibacterial activity was carried out by broth dilution method. Results: 15, 12 and 18 compounds were confirmed by GC-MS qualitatively in methanol, ethylacetate and hexane extracts respectively. All extracts showed significant activity against four bacteria: Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pnemoniae, Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus pneumonia which were comparable with ampicillin drug taken as positive control. Conclusion: The antibacterial result indicates that the aerial parts of plant have antibacterial activities due to presence of various phytochemical constituents. All the major components confirmed by GC-MS from different extract are biologically active molecule which indicates that the plant might have some medicinal properties.
