In vitro Propagation of Caralluma diffusa (Wight) N.E.Br

K. Kalimuthu, K. Kalaiyarasi, R. Prabakaran & T. Sasikala · Biotechnology Journal International · 2013

An efficient protocol is described for the rapid in vitro multiplication of an endangered medicinal plant, Caralluma diffusa, via enhanced axillary bud proliferation from nodal explants collected from young shoots of six-months-old plant. The physiological effects of growth regul...

Microtuberization of Ceropegia pusilla Wight and Arn. an Endangered Medicinal Plant

K. Kalimuthu, R. Prabakaran, S. Paulsamy & S. Jeyaraman · European Journal of Medicinal Plants · 2013

An efficient micropropagation (direct & indirect) and microtuberization protocol for an endemic and ethanomedicinal plant Ceropegia pusilla is described. The highest number of shoot initiation (3.50 ±0.34) and higher average shoot number in shoot subculture (15.40 ± 1.65) wer...

Effects of Exogenous Growth Regulators on Direct and Indirect Micropropagation of Corbichonia decumbens (Forssk.) Exell (Molluginaceae)

G. Uma, R. Prabakaran, K. Kalimuthu, V. Chinnadurai & V. Balasubramaniam · European Journal of Medicinal Plants · 2016

Corbichonia decumbens (Forssk.) Exell is a medicinally important plant belonging to the family Molluginaceae. In this study we have standardized a protocol for both direct and indirect micropropagation. Callus was induced from the leaf, node and internode explants on Murashige an...
