Nodal explants of Phyla nodiflora (L.) Greene, were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with different combination and concentration of cytokinins and auxins for multiple shoots regeneration. The maximum numbers of shoots were found in MS medium supplemented with2.5 mgl-16-benzylaminopurine (BA) and 0.5 mgl-1 kinetin (KN). Elongated shoots were transferred to rooting ...

Phyla nodiflora is an herbaceous perennial and an enigmatic species. It is indigenous to the Americas but is considered a natural component of the flora in many areas and a weed in others. Our aim was to circumscribe the native range of P. nodiflora, to explore dispersal mechanisms and routes and to test the hypothesis that P. nodiflora is native outside of the Americas. Determining whether dis...

This study was undertaken to investigate the antimicrobial activity of traditional formulation using phyla nodiflora, Hibiscus rosa sinesis, Phyllanthus emblica, and piper nigrum plant against pathogens. cold press oil refined extracts above plants were prepared their properties evaluated by measuring zone inhibition disk diffusion method. Various fractions showed antibacterial Escherichia coli...

Overexpression of tyrosinase can cause excessive production of melanin and lead to hyperpigmentation disorders, including melasma and freckles. Recently, agents obtained from plants are being used as alternative medicines to downregulate tyrosinase synthesis and decrease melanin production. Phyla nodiflora Greene (Verbenaceae) is used as a folk medicine in Taiwanese for treating and preventing ...

It is used for pain in knee joints, for lack of bowel movement, used in ulcers and boils, in swollen cervical glands. It is also used in gonorrhea. The antibacterial activity of plant has also been traced. The plant has showed antibacterial activity against bacteria...

Phyla nodiflora is a creeping perennial herb, widely distributed in the most tropical and subtropical regions. It has been used as a folk medicine, herbal beverage, or folk cosmetic. For these usages, the development of a chemical quality control method of this plant is necessary. In the present study, ten compounds, namely, 3,7,4',5'-tetrahydroxy-3'-methoxyflavone (1), nodifloretin (2), 4'-hyd...

In continuation of our search for biologically active molecules from terrestrial sources, we have investigated the creeping perennial herb Phyla nodiyora (Linn) Greene (Verbenaceae) ("Lippia nodiyora (Linn.) Mich), which grows widely in India. The leaves of P. nodiyora were collected from Bhadrachalam forest in October 1998. The plant was identi"ed by Prof. M. Prabhakar, Plant Anatomy and Taxon...
