Prospect Of Plant Tissue Culture In Some Medicinal Plants

Abstract

The present investigation entitled Prospects of plant tissue culture in some medicinal plants has been taken to focus the involvement and potential role different doses of plant growth regulator and different type of media on different types of explants was carried out in during 2019-20 at Tissue Culture Laboratory, Department of Plant Breeding and Genetics, College of Agriculture, Chandra Shekhar Azad university of agriculture and technology, Kanpur. The experiment was laid out using complete randomized block design factorial with forty distinct treatments with two replications using using two types of explants i.e. shoot tip and nodal cutting of two types of medicinal plants i.e. Brahmi and Aloevera. An efficient protocol for rapid in vitro propagation of valuable medicinal plant Brahmi and Aloe vera by using shoot tip and nodal cutting as explants were done. Brahmi and Aloe Vera is likely to become a major source of a number of medicinal products of high value in the coming future. It is imperative to convert Brahmi and Aloe barbadensis from wild plant to plant suited to meet the huge demand of the industries. Therefore, efficient and fast mechanized production need to be established for both medicinal plants to address the need of the present time. To understand the biology of Brahmi and Aloe vera and biochemistry of the sweet glycosides prerequisites for conversion of both crops to modern crops. Since ancient times, the plant has been an exemplary source of medicines. While both plants is best known today for its ability to treat burns, it has been used for treating stomach disorders, headache, constipation, influenza and fever, colic, kidney ailments, ringworms skin, hemorrhoids, wounds, dystrophy, blistering, sunburn, menstrual problems, insomnia, snakebite, hair loss, meningitis and other elements. newline
