Summary: The effects of jasmonic acid (JA) and salicylic acid (SA) elicitation on the accumulation of total phenolics and flavonoids and the regulation of antioxidant metabolism in callus cultures of G. moluccana L. were determined in this study. JA treatment resulted in higher levels of total phenolics and flavonoids compared to SA treatment and control. Real-time PCR analysis revealed a correlation between transcriptional and enzyme activity regulation in response to both treatments.

Summary: Sageretia thea was cultivated with the aim of increasing the production of phenolic compounds in plant cell suspension cultures. Optimum callus was induced and methyl jasmonate was found to be a suitable elicitor for phenolic accumulation in cell suspensions. The use of balloon-type bioreactors resulted in the highest biomass yields after four weeks of cultivation.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of different light qualities on the growth of red callus, accumulation of phenolic compounds, and total antioxidant capacity in spine grape. Blue and purple light increased red coloration in the callus, while yellow light promoted the greatest callus proliferation. White, blue, and purple light induced increased anthocyanin accumulation. Mixed-wavelength light was beneficial for flavonoid accumulation. Blue and purple light facilitated the accumulation of proanthocyanidins. The total antioxidant capacity of the callus cultures varied significantly depending on the light quality. These findings provide evidence for using abiotic elicitors to stimulate callus growth and enhance the accumulation of phenolic compounds in the red callus of spine grape.

Summary: Iron deficiency in human diet is a serious problem worldwide, leading to iron-dependent anaemia. Biofortification of crop plants, including edible sprouts, is a promising strategy to combat dietary deficiencies. This study evaluates the effect of seeds imbibition in FeCl2 solution on seeds germination, seedling growth, antioxidant activity, and phenolic and flavonoid levels. The results show that pre-treatment of seeds with Fe increases the accumulation of this metal in the seedlings, affecting their antioxidant activity and flavonoid levels.

Summary: Boucerosia frerei is an endemic and critically endangered succulent herb in the Northern Western Ghats of India. This study provides the first report on its collection, phenotypic characterization, commercially viable propagation strategy development, and identification of suitable accessions for hanging baskets. The results highlight important and interesting features of this plant. Morphological characterization identifies the Meruling, Satara as a potential accession for hanging baskets. A combination of soil, coconut coir, and vermiculite improves phenotypic traits in hanging basket cultivation. Vegetative propagation is superior for large-scale propagation and conservation.
