Influence of Phytohormones on Growth and Production of Ajmalicine by Multiple Shoot Cultures of Catharanthus roseus
Puntos clave
Ajmalicine production increased with specific phytohormone treatments, affecting growth positively.
The research observed variations in ajmalicine levels, reaching up to 24% higher in treated cultures compared to controls.
Analysis of multiple shoot cultures indicated that hormone concentrations significantly influence both plant growth and secondary metabolite production.
These findings highlight the potential for optimizing phytohormonal applications to boost ajmalicine levels in this medicinal plant.
