... In particular, in vitro techniques are of critical importance for species with small or endangered populations (Gonçalves et al. 2010;Mallón et al. 2010). The transplantation of in vitro raised plantlets into natural habitats is a viable approach for plant conservation and restoration (Chavan et al. 2018;Adsul et al. 2019). These in situ conservation efforts involve the expansion of the area of occupancy of the species (Peixoto et al. 2023). ...

... In ornamental species, mutated selections include changes in flower shape, flower color, and leaf chlorophyll variegation (Datta and Teixeira da Silva 2006). New flower colors have been isolated from gamma-irradiated Catharanthus roseus (Kannabiran et al. 2017), Chrysanthemum (Setia et al. 2020), and Delphinium malabaricum (Kolar et al. 2015). ...

... The proposed system could be useful to standardize the protocol for generation of this endangered medicinal plant species for its ex-situ conservation. Aponogeton bruggenii Yadav & Govekar has been also successively conserved through the standardization of protocol with multiple shoot induction method using tuber as explant(Jagtap et al. in 2010). ...

... Several studies revealed the biological activities of 6-gingerol, including antioxidant, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antiapoptotic, and many more. The study by Pawar et al. (2016) revealed that there is a strong and significant correlation between 6-gingerol and free radical scavenging activities. Thus, LC-QTOF/MS and correlation analysis (R) were performed to quantify the concentration of 6-gingerols in BG extracts affected by different drying methods and fresh ginger extracts and to assess the interaction between the 6-gingerol concentration and DPPH free radical scavenging activity, respectively. ...

... Consolida ajacis, C. ambigua, D. ambiguum), a popular winter seasonal in gardens, being widely used as ornamental for its attractive spike like raceme. Several efforts have been made to create plants with large-sized blossoms of shades not existing naturally in Delphinium by induction of polyploidy (Singh 1991), hybridization (Royal Horticultural Society 1949;Legro 1961), mutation breeding and tissue culture (Honda and Tsutsui 1997;Honda et al. 2003;Kolar et al. 2015). The cytological studies carried out until date in D. ajacis have been restricted to the study of X-ray induced chromosomal rearrangements (Jain et al. 1963), karyotypes, meiotic behaviour of chromosomes in pollen mother cells (PMCs) (Singh and Roy 1983;Mehra and Remanandan 1972;Subramanian 1985;Kaur and Sidhu 2014) and study of chromosomes in endosperm (Mandal and Basu 1978) and colchitetraploids (Singh 1991). ...

... In comparison to aspirin, this plant is also used to enhance appetite and cure asthma, and it is thought to be a possible anti-platelet agent. It has anti-inflammatory and analgesic qualities similar to non-steroid anti-inflammatory medications, but without the gastrointestinal bleeding and ulcer development adverse effects (Pawar et al. 2015). The rhizome extract of Zingiber officinale is utilized here as a reducing and stabilizing agent. ...

... A Rubia cordifolia hairy root culture was treated with various concentrations of chitosan (50 mg l −1 to 200 mg l −1 ) for alizarin production. Hairy roots treated with 150 mg l −1 chitosan accumulated tenfold (4.65 ppm) higher amounts of alizarin than the normal hairy roots (0.48 ppm) (Kudale et al. 2014). Existing reports revealed that the Agrobacterium strains, explant, co-culturing method, light, sucrose, and elicitor concentrations undoubtedly play vital roles in anthraquinone production under in vitro conditions. ...

... Chemical mutagenesis has been extensively recognized as an effective approach for inducing a broad spectrum of morphological and genetic variations in plant species Kolar et al. 2013;Jahan et al. 2020;Shaikh et al. 2021;Singh et al. 2021). Compared to physical mutagens, chemical agents generally yield a higher frequency of mutations, offering increased effectiveness and more specific targeting of genetic alterations (Kharkwal 1999;Bhat et al. 2005). ...
