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

Figure 8

CL: callus from leaf, CT: callus from tuber, TI: tuber from intact plant (in vivo), and LI: leaf from intact plant (in vivo). Superoxide dismutase (SOD) was applied according to the kit protocol to examine SOD activities in plant extracts (leaves from in vivo plants compared to callus from leaf and tuber, resp.) of C. latifolia Dryand (10 g L−1). 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 results of samples were compared using Duncan’s Multiple comparison test (DMCT).
