Plant biotechnology: use of tissue culture techniques in species Boerhavia paniculata Rich and Crinum americanum L as alternative for the production of new drugs in vitro

Background Crinum americanum L. popularly known as lily is an ornamental plant that belongs to the family Amaryllidaceae alkaloids presenting with anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and inhibition acetilcolinisterase. The species Boerhavia paniculata Rich is a plant from the family Nyctaginaceae popularly known as “Pega Pinto” that produces isoflavones that have action antiinflmatórias urinary tract and with its concentration in the roots. Aimed at the production and accumulation of these substances in vitro, this work aimed to study the induction of roots of the species Boerhavia paniculata Rich and callus induction of the species Crinum americanum L through the techniques of tissue culture protocols developed cell culture for production of these metabolites and evaluate the qualitative HPTLC by these cells [1,2,5].
