This study aims to investigate whether the in vitro-cultured L. pumila var. alata has higher antioxidant activity than its wild plant. An 8-week-old L. pumila var. alata nodal segment and leaf explants were cultured onto Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with various cytokinins (zeatin, kinetin, and 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP)) for shoot multiplication and auxins (2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and picloram) for callus induction, respectively. The results showed that 2 mg/L zeatin produced the optimal results for shoot and leaf development, and 0.5 mg/L 2,4-D produced the highest callus induction results (60%). After this, 0.5 mg/L 2,4-D was combined with 0.25 mg/L cytokinins and supplemented to the MS medium. The optimal results for callus induction (100%) with yellowish to greenish and compact texture were obtained using 0.5 mg/L 2,4-D combined with 0.25 mg/L zeatin. Leaves obtained from in vitro plantlets and wild plants as well as callus were extracted and analyzed for their antioxidant activities (DPPH and FRAP methods) and polyphenolic properties (total flavonoid and total phenolic content). When compared with leaf extracts of in vitro plantlets and wild plants of L. pumila var. alata, the callus extract displayed significantly higher antioxidant activities and total phenolic and flavonoid content. Hence, callus culture potentially can be adapted for antioxidant and polyphenolic production to satisfy pharmaceutical and nutraceutical needs while conserving wild L. pumila var. alata.

In vitro cultures were initiated from a single seed of Centaurea davidovii. Whole plantlets were regenerated and cultivated for several months on agar-solidified nutrient media differing by their composition: basal MS medium, MS medium supplemented with plant growth regulators, and liquid MS medium. Plantlets were ex vitro adapted and successfully acclimated to open-air conditions; flowering was observed in some individuals in the first summer, and mass flowering during the second summer. The contents of the total flavonoids and the total phenolic compounds were determined spectrophotometrically in the leaves of the in vitro plantlets cultured on different media, and then compared with those in the leaves of the wild plants and in the leaves of the acclimated plants of the field plot. The sesquiterpene lactone 8α-(5′-hydroxyangeloyl)-salonitenolide was determined by HPLC in leaf samples of C. davidovii wild plants, in vitro obtained plantlets and ex vitro acclimated plants in the greenhouse and on the experimental field plot. The composition of the nutrient medium influenced the contents of all studied bioactive substances. The highest concentrations of all tested secondary metabolites were detected in the leaves of the acclimated plants during mass flowering, the content of the lactone reaching 56.2 mg/g DW, which was several times more than in the other leaf samples. The obtained results revealed both the effectiveness of biotechnological methods for propagation and conservation of rare and endangered plant species, and the possibility to use C. davidovii plants ex vitro acclimated to field conditions as a source of secondary metabolites with potential biological activity.

Codonopsis javania (Blume) Hook.f. et Thomson a traditional medicine plant and now an endangered species in Vietnam is grown for roots. The research was carried out to establish the plant propagation for the purpose of concerving and exploting this endangered medicinal herbs. In vitro shoot tip explants (1 – 1.5 cm) were induced to form callus on MS medium containing NAA (0.5 – 2 mg /L) with TDZ 0.1 mg/L. After four weeks of culture, in the MS medium combine with NAA 1 mg/L and TDZ 0.1 mg/L the explant induced compact callus (green, solid) wsa achieved 85.33%. The callus induction to form shoots on medium MS containing BA (0.5 – 2.0 mg/L) with NAA 0.2 mg/L. After 4 weeks of culture, shoot formation was higher in the MS medium containing BA 1.0 mg /L and NAA 0.2 mg/L and achieved of 82.67 % with 9.92 shoots/explant. The best shoot proliferation (2 – 3 cm) was excised and transferred to a medium shoot multiplication with the same composition as the shoot induction medium in which NAA 0.2 mg/L was replaced by NAA 0.5 mg/L. When compared the shoot multiplication between the two mediums at the same BA concentration (2 mg/L), all shoots increased and reached 5.87 times after 60 days cultured. On rooting MS medium with IBA 1 mg/L, 88.67 % in vitro rooting was observed with the average root yield of 4.33 roots/shoot and the length of 8.27 cm. Root length and their yield quality were highly improved when using of coconut fiber (30 %) and earthworms compost (70 %) (v/v) in the transfer medium after acclimatisation stages.

In vitro cultures of Hypericum heterophyllum Vent. was established by using MS and MS-B5 medium contained plant growth regulators such as kinetin, BAP, IAA, TDZ and picloram. Flower, leaf, stem and in vitro samples (callus and in vitro plantlets) of H. heterophyllum were analysed by LC-MS/MS for their chemical contents such as quinic acid, gallic acid, (+)-catechin, ferulic acid, vanillic acid, p-coumaric acid, caffeic acid, and quercetin; moreover their radical scavening activities conducted by DPPH and ABTS methods were evaluated. Among all the analysed samples, the in vitro plantlets shown the highest antioxidant activity (IC50, 220 μg/mL for DPPH and 254 μg/mL for ABTS), probably due to the presence of phenolic acids and flavonoids, specifically the higher total phenolic content (64.4 mg GAE/g extract) than other samples. The phytochemical variation among all samples was discussed through principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA). The in vitro plantlets might offer possibilities for the production of high-value secondary metabolites as pharmaceuticals and food preservatives. This study is the first report on analyses and comparison of secondary metabolites and antioxidant activities in different plant parts and in vitro samples of endemic H. heterophyllum.

Vegetative propagation of Sprekelia (Sprekelia formosissima Herbert.) in natural conditions is limited because it produces only one bulb per year or none. The objective of this research was to generate an in vitro propagation protocol for this species to increase its commercial propagation rate without extracting the species from its natural habitat. Bulbs of 4 to 5 cm in diameter were used as disinfested donor explant material; 1 cm2 explants were obtained from the cataphyll leaves with and without a portion of basal disc; these explants were established in MS medium supplemented with 8.87 μM of N6 benzyl adenine (BA) and 0.98 μM of indole-3- butyric acid (IBA). For shoot multiplication, bulblets obtained from the previous phase were used as explants and cultivated in MS medium with 2.5, 5, 10, 15 and 20 μM of BA combined with IBA at a 10:1 ratio (BA: IBA). Shoots obtained from multiplication were established in MS medium supplemented with 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 % (w/v) sucrose to promote growth. Bulblets were rooted in MS medium supplemented with 0, 0.49, 0.98, 1.96, 3.93 and 7.8 μM of IBA. Once roots formed, they were transferred to soil to assess their acclimation. We obtained 89.1 % of aseptic explants, of which 86 % formed two shoots on the average. Multiplication of shoots increased as BA concentration increased in culture medium, and the best results (75 % of bulblets with shoots, 2.66 shoots per bulblet and 2.0 mm diameter shoots) were obtained with 20 μM BA. The best bulb growth in diameter (4.2 mm) and number of bulblet leaves (3.5) was obtained with 5 % sucrose. The use of 0.98 μM IBA resulted in greater rooting percentage (93.7) and number of roots per bulblet (2.0), which were 2.4 cm long on average. Up to 83 % of the bulblets survived acclimation. This protocol to micropropagate Sprekelia formosissima allowed the production of at least 96 bulblets from one mother bulb in a six months period of in vitro culture.

Background: Plant in vitro culture systems serve as a useful tool to study the regulatory routes which are related to plant growth and survival under altered environmental conditions. Methods: Callus culture of Suaeda monoica and Suaeda nudiflora were established for studying the salt tolerance mechanism at the cellular level. Calli of both the species were induced from seedling’s epicotyls on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with a different combination of auxin and cytokinins. A sequential stress treatment was given to the callus of both the species. The growth rate of callus, osmolytes and antioxidant activities was investigated after 28 days. A control callus was maintained in each experiment without any salt in the growth medium. Results: Efficient callus regeneration was obtained by exposing the callus tissue to MS medium supplemented with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D, 1.0 mg/l), benzylaminopurine (BAP, 0.5 mg/l) and 2,4-D (0.5 mg/l), kinetin (Kn, 0.25 mg/l) for S. monoica and S. nudiflora, respectively. A substantial increase was observed in proline content and a strong positive correlation was found between the total phenolic content and antioxidant activity under increasing salt concentrations. Conclusion: This is the first report on S. monoica callus regeneration. The specific cell lines which were generated through callus culture under sequential saline conditions provide a promising foundation for studying salinity induced expression of enzymes. Further comparison of transcriptomic profiles of control and salt-treated callus cultures can serve as a promising system for the detection of genes responsible for the change in expression under salt stress.

Objective: The objective of this research was to establish and develop a protocol for the mass multiplication and callus induction of an anti-Diabetic plant-G. sylvestre R. Br.Methods: Sterilized explants (Nodal segment and leaf) were used for the initiation of culture. They were cultured on MS medium supplemented with a variety of PGRs (BAP, Kn, IBA, 2,4-D) individually or in combinations.Results: The induction of multiple shoots from nodal segments were highest in MS medium supplemented with 2.0 mg/l Kn and in BAP Maximum shoots were obtained on MS medium fortified with 1 mg/l BAP. For rooting different concentration of IBA were used and highest rooting was recorded on MS medium supplemented with 2.0 mg/l IBA. The rooted Plantlets were hardened initially in culture room conditions and then transferred to mist house. Leaf petiole explants were used for the purpose of callus induction. Best growth was observed in MS medium supplemented with 2,4-D. 1.0 mg/l 2,4-D+0.5 mg/l BAP, 1.0 mg/l 2,4-D+1.5 mg/l Kn.Conclusion: The results obtained in this research work clearly indicated that Kn is a better choice than BAP for the culture initiation. 2 mg/l IBA was proved best for root induction. For callus induction, 1 mg/l 2,4-D gave good results and when callus was sub-cultured on 2,4-D with BAP or Kn then 1.0 mg/l 2, 4-D+1.5 mg/l Kn proved best for mass propagation of callus.

Bacopa monnieri is commonly called as brahmi or jal brahmi in India. Brahmi is a non-aromatic herb Brahmi is considered as the herb played a very important role in Ayurvedic medicine. It is found easily India, Australia, Europe, Africa, Asia. Bacopa monnieri (L) belongs to the family Scrophulariaceae is an amphibious plant of tropical and normally found growing on the banks of the rivers and lakes. It is commonly called as brahmi or jal brahmi in India. Brahmi is considered as the main rejuvenating herb played a very important role in Ayurvedic therapies. It also has anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antipyretic, epilepsy, anticancer, antioxidant activities and recently antimycotic preoperty has been reported. The micro propagation protocol of the medicinally important plant Bacopa monnieri was standardized using nodal segments as explants. They were surface sterilized with HgCl2 (0.1%) for 3 minutes prior to inoculation on MS media supplemented with BAP (0.5- 2.5 mg/l); IAA (0.1-0.5 mg/l for shooting,1.0-1.5 mg/l for rooting); NAA (0.1- 0.5 mg/l for shooting, 1.0-1.5 mg/l for rooting). The best performance for shoot multiplication was showed in MS medium supplemented with 1.5 mg/l BAP + 0.5 mg/l IAA. In this combination the number of shoots per explant was 16 and average length of shoot 5.54 ± 0.54 cm. But when different concentrations of NAA were applied along with 1.5 mg/l BAP the number of shoots per explant was 14 and average shoot length was 3.46 ± 0.43 on media. For root induction, best rooting was observed with half strength of MS medium supplemented with IAA (1.0 mg/l). In this combination, it was observed that the number of roots was 12 and average root length of 2.80 ± 0.09. The present study is a stepping stone for in vitro production of required active principles of Bacopa monnieri.
