In vitro cultivation of Scoparia dulcis L.(Scrophulariaceae)
Abstract:
In the framework of this investigation the techniques were designed for the propagation of meristematic tissue present in the bud of the nodal segments of the species, Scoparia dulcis L. (Scrophulariaceae), thereby obtaining plants genetically identical to the mother plant. They were identical to the plant mother. These techniques help to reduce the space and time necessary for the cultivation this species. The protocol thus developed will produce specimens of high performance in active principles and free of infectious agents, particularly for the production of material required for medicinal products. Scoparia dulcis L. has been described with anti-malarial proprieties. One of its chemical components is beta sitosterol, which is used to cure prostate inflammation and constitutes a base element for the treatment of baldness. The research was developed in several stages: first, the establishment of a protocol for bacterial …
