Effect of Plant Growth Regulators on Callus Induction from Leaf and Petiole explants of Hummeid (Rumex Vesicarius)

Abstract

Advancement in plant cell culture technology has permitted the increasing interest in harvesting plant metabolites from cell cultures. This technique is based on in vitro propagation of plant callus which contains many beneficial compounds under sterile conditions as the plant source or raw material for natural product extraction. In vitro production of plant sources acknowledges; conservation of plant species in natural habitats which has been a global issue due to over harvesting of medicinal plants for the natural products manufacturing and production of phytochemicals, independent from seasonal and environmental limitations. Establishment of cell cultures is challenging. The main aim is to establish cell cultures as the starting material for the phytochemical analysis in Rumex Vesicarius.
