Abstract
Vernonia amygdalina Delile. is a small tree familiar for its potential medicinal values and widely used in containing 5.0 μM 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP). The highest shoot proliferation (24.00 ± 0.05 shoots/nodal segment) with average shoot length (6.86 ± 0.10 cm) was accomplished on MS + 5.0 μM BAP + 0.5 μM α-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA). Subsequent to in vitro regeneration, traditional medicine within the genus Vernonia. The present study focuses to standardize the micropropagation protocol of V. amygdalina using young nodal segment explants. The ideal medium for shoot initiation was determined to be Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium microshoots were successfully rooted on ½ MS + 1.0 µM indole-3-butyric acid (IBA). Acclimatization of rooted plantlets in Soilrite™ resulted in a 95 % survival rate upon transfer to the greenhouse. Start codon targeted (SCoT) primer-based molecular analysis was done to corroborate the genetic compatibility of regenerated plantlets. During acclimatization, gradual change in net photosynthetic rate, chlorophyll content, stomatal conductance, and transpiration rate was investigated. Additionally, changes in antioxidant enzyme activities, including superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), and glutathione reductase (GR), were also screened. The plantlets' healthy adaptation to their surroundings was also demonstrated by the leaves' scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis. Furthermore, Gas Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry analysis (GC–MS) was used to compare the secondary metabolites profile from the mother and regenerated plantlets.
期刊介绍:
The South African Journal of Botany publishes original papers that deal with the classification, biodiversity, morphology, physiology, molecular biology, ecology, biotechnology, ethnobotany and other botanically related aspects of species that are of importance to southern Africa. Manuscripts dealing with significant new findings on other species of the world and general botanical principles will also be considered and are encouraged.
