In the present study, we first attempted to achieve an efficient procedure for optimizing callogenesis from apical meristem and leaf explants of Salvia tebesana on MS media containing different concentrations BAP alone in combination with 2,4-D. Then, inducing effect nano-TiO2 (10, 60, 120 mg L−1) methyl jasmonate (50, 100, 200 µM), as abiotic elicitors were studied enhancement phenolic compoun...
