Root Tissues

Polygonum multiflorum Thunb. is a perennial plant that belongs to Polygonaceae. Root tissues are the main plant parts used as medicinal herbs in Korean oriental medicine. The P. multiflorum tuber is well known for its medicinal properties in Korean oriental medicine, and it contains a number of useful substances (secondary metabolites of emodin, 2,3,5,4′-tetrahydroxystilbene-2-O-β-d-glucoside (TSG), etc.) that are increasing in demand, as several studies show that they have beneficial effects on the human body. In this study, the production volumes and useful material content differences between cultured P. multiflorum seedlings (culture seedlings: CSs), which had been grown using a tissue culture technique under optimized conditions, and existing varieties in circulation (seed seedlings: SSs) were determined using a long-term field test. The growth characteristics of the underground parts were investigated by harvesting the tuberous roots (medicinal parts) after 1 year, and the results showed that the fresh and dry weights of the CS tubers were higher than those of the SS tubers. However, the SS rootlets had higher fresh and dry weights than the CS rootlets. A liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry component analysis of the P. multiflorum tubers and a Fourier transform near-infrared spectrophotometer analysis of the roots were undertaken. The results showed that the levels of TSG, which is a medicinal substance produced by P. multiflorum, were higher in the CSs than in the SSs, but the differences were not significant. The CS results from this study will inform future studies on the mass production of P. multiflorum in the field because the medicinal area was greater in CSs than in SSs.

Rehmannia glutinosa (Gaertn.) DC is a perennial plant belonging to the family Scropulariidae. The root of R. glutinosa is used in oriental medicine and mainly grown using rootstock rather than seed cultivation, which gives rise to several problems including root rot, and results in a low productivity and poor quality. To solve the challenges involved in R. glutinosa seed cultivation, our team previously used the formative features and genetic analysis of R. glutinosa to determine the optimal in vitro tissue culture conditions for producing sterile culture seedlings and rootstocks of R. glutinosa. The aim of the present study was to identify differences between R. glutinosa standard rootstock seedlings (SR), R. glutinosa culture rootstock seedlings (CR), and culture seedlings (CS) under field conditions. The reproductive characteristics of the aerial part were more robust while the area and length of leaves were smaller for SR than those for CR and CS. The characteristic that differed the most in SR was flowering, which did not occur in CR and CS. In addition, the fresh and dry weights of the subterranean parts of CR and CS were two-fold greater than those of SR. Fourier transform near-infrared (FT-NIR) analysis showed only slight differences between the chemical constituents of SR and its culture products, which was confirmed by measuring the content of catalpol, an indexing substance. Catalpol had a reduced content in the culture products compared to SR. However, this difference was not significant. Our findings will be useful for the identification of the best seedling type of R. glutinosa to enable its mass production.

Objectives : Plantago ovata is an important medicinal plant of Himalayan region greatly used in herbal dugs manufacturing. The plant is multipurpose and strictly present in the Himalaya. Plantago has many medicinal properties such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and hematopoiesis effects and protects the liver and is used for the treatment of cancer. The plant being medicinal possesses complex phytochemicals. The investigation of various Plantago organ (leaves, stem etc) revealed their high potential to produce a wide array of bioactive secondary metabolites. In present study the a new method of micropropagation through tissue culture  was developed for Plantago so as to meet the future demand of plant. Futher a morphological and physiochemical comparison of tissue culture grown plant was done with in vivo grown plants.Methods:  Plantago ovata was grown in -vitro through tissue culture technique using MS media and in-vivo in the nursery area of Shoolini University. In vitro culture of  Plantago ovata forsk. were managed to restrict the ecological factors and to control the culture conditions. Experimental culture parameter including germination and phytochemical constituents of Plantago ovata in vivo and in vitro conditions were observed.Results: The result revealed changes in the concentration of phytochemical constituent’s in tissue culture grown Plantago. Phytochemicals constituents (carbohydrate, tannin, chlorophyll, saponin) was reduced in tissue culture grown plant where as some phytochemicals (phenol, alkaloid, flavanoid, protein, phytosterol) increased in tissue culture grown plant than in vivo plant.  A reduction in morphological trait was found in tissue cultured plant.Conclusion: The developed tissue culture method for the micropropagation of  Plantago ovata can be used as milestone to meet the industrial need in near future.Keywords: Plantago, Tissue Culture Technique, germination, phytochemicals.

ABSTRACT The kulo chrysanthemum variety is a North Sulawesi local variety characterized by large white flowers.  The new variety was introduced barely two years ago, yet it has gained considerable popularity among flower farmers in Tomohon City as well as in Manado, Tondano, and around the Minahasa and North Minahasa regencies. The growing interest in this particular variety has increased the demand for nursery stock resulting in a shortage of supply.  The conventional plantlet propagation method i.e. one seed to grow one plant, is deemed very time consuming and has poor plantlet yield.   It is therefore necessary to explore other plantlet propagation methods that can produce high yield in a relatively short period of time. One of the best techniques for plantlet propagation is tissue culture.  The success of tissue culture in producing high plantlet yield is determined by the use of appropriate plant growth regulators. Accurate concentrations of growth regulators are vital in achieving an optimum yield.  Consequently, determining the exact concentrations is a major issue in the tissue culture method.    Cytokinins are commonly used as growth regulators in shoot and plantlet propagations.  However, different types of cytokinins may have different effects on shoot generation from the nodal explants used in particular in vitro propagations.  The kulo chrysanthemum variety has never been propagated using the nodal explant tissue culture technique and may respond differently than other varieties.  Therefore, it is essential to determine which types of cytokinins are most suited to stimulate its shoot and plantlet propagations.

This present study evaluated the effects of processed P. multiflorum on osteogenesis using Sarcoma osteogenic (SaOS-2) cell lines and osteoclastogenesis of bone marrow-derived macrophage cells (BMM) and to elucidate differences in effect on the expression of bone-related proteins between commercially sold P. multiflorum and patented, in vitro-propagated Korea Institute of Oriental Medicine (KIOM) P. multiflorum. Raw P. multiflorum and P. multiflorum that were stir-baked and steamed in black bean juice were compared, and western blotting analysis was performed to investigate the expression of bone remodeling-related proteins in SaOS-2 cells. In the cells treated with P. multiflorum steamed in black bean juice, the expression of RANKL was decreased, whereas that of osteoprotegerin, alkaline phosphatase, Runx2, and osterix was increased. Owing to these results, we conclude that processed P. multiflorum can be used as an alternative treatment for bone diseases such as osteoporosis, osteopenia, periodontitis, and Paget’s disease.

Numerous authors have provided evidence regarding the beneficial effects of phenolic acids and their derivatives against Alzheimer's disease (AD). In this review, the role of phenolic acids as inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) is discussed, including the structure-activity relationship. In addition, the inhibitory effect of phenolic acids on the formation of amyloid β-peptide (Aβ) fibrils is presented. We also cover the in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo studies concerning the prevention and treatment of the cognitive enhancement.
