Preliminary Screening of Antioxidant and Antibacterial Activities and Establishment of an Efficient Callus Induction in Curculigo latifolia Dryand (Lemba)

Figure 7

CL: callus from leaf, CT: callus from tuber, TI: tuber from intact plant (in vivo), and LI: leaf from intact plant (in vivo). Antioxidant activity of examining plant extracts (leaves from in vivo plants compared to callus from leaf and tuber, resp.) of C. latifolia Dryand (10 g L⁻¹) measured using a scavenging activity assay presented as a percentage value. Ascorbic acid and BHT (butylated hydroxyl toluene 1 mg L⁻¹) were applied as the positive controls. All the values are average of triplicates. The data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA and the scavenging activity percentage means of samples were compared using Duncan’s Multiple comparison test (DMCT).
