Elicitation of Flavonoids in Blumea lacera (Burm.f.) DC. Cell Culture using Chemical Elicitor, Salicylic Acid and Biological Elicitor, Aspergillus niger

Ethnobotanical Significance and Antimicrobial Activity of Blumea lacera (Roxb.) DC

The ethnobotanical significance and antimicrobial potential of various extracts of Blumea lacera was investigated. The plant was found to be used in many folk preparations. Antimicrobial potential of the plant was evaluated against three bacterial and one fungal species. Two different solvents water and methanol were used for extraction purposes. Among the different extracts investigated, water...

Chitosan and Aspergillus Niger Mediated Elicitation of Total Flavonoids in Suspension Culture of Andrographis Paniculata (burm.f.) Nees

Plant Flavonoids are considered as naturally occurring bioactive compounds. In the present study, chitosan and Aspergillus niger elicitors were used as chemical and fungal elicitors, respectively. The cell suspension culture of Andrographis paniculata (Burm. f.) Nees was established in 50 ml MS media supplemented with 2,4-D: BAP (1.0:0.5 mg/l) and treated with chitosan and Aspergillus niger eli...

Considerable Azadirachtin Production in Neem Cell Culture under Abiotic Elicitor Induction

In this study the effect of different concentrations of some abiotic elicitors (salicylic acid, jasmonic acid, cadmium chloride and sodium chloride) with different incubation times (3, 6, 9 and 12) on azadiractin production and cell growth in the cell culture of the Iranian native Neem were investigated. Cell growth rate was measured by changes in dry cell weight and it was used as a basis for ...
