Micropropagation of PLUCHEA LANCEOLATA (Oliver & Hiern.) Using Nodal Explant

Chemical Characterization and Acetylcholinesterase Inhibition Potential of Volatile Components of Aerial Parts of Pluchea lanceolata (DC.) Oliv. & Hiern

Micropropagation of Chrysanthemum (chrysanthemum Morifolium) Using Shoot Tip as Explant

Chrysanthemum has been cultivated for more than 2000 years and today, it is the world’s second most economically important floricultural crop following the rose (Teixeira da silva, 2003). Due to high popularity and demand for chrysanthemum it has become one of the first commercial targets for Micro propagation and thus tissue culture can be utilized for its large scale production. Regeneration ...

Micropropagation of Alternanthera Sessilis (L.) Using Shoot Tip and Nodal Segments

A rapid in vitro propagation system has been established from mature shoot tip and nodal segments of ahighly valuable medicinal plant Alternanthera sessilis (L.). The explants were cultured on Murashige andSkoog’s medium augmented with different concentrations and combinations of plant growth regulators forshoot bud initiation and multiplications. For shoot tip, highest freque...

Effects of Pluchea lanceolata Root Extract on Cisplatin induced Nausea and Vomiting in Rat Pica Model

Cisplatin is an effective chemotherapeutics against a wide range of cancers. However, it causes significant nausea and vomiting which limit its usefulness. In the present study, the effects of methanolic root extract of Pluchea lanceolata (DC.) C. B. Clarke , asteraceae ( MPL ) was investigated against cisplatin-induced nausea using a rat pica model. In rat pica model, rats react to cispla...

Micropropagation of Calophyllum brasiliense (Cambess.) from nodal segments.

Micropropagation of Calophyllum brasiliense Cambess. (Clusiaceae) is a way to overcome difficulties in achieving large-scale plant production, given the recalcitrant nature of the seeds, irregular fructification and absence of natural vegetative propagation of the species. Cultures were established using nodal segments 2 cm in length, obtained from 1-2 year old seedlings, maintained in a greenh...
