  • A Preliminary in vitro Investigation on the Crude Methanol Extract of Bacopa monnieri (L.) Pennell. An Important Multi Medicinal Plant
    Prema Jose Jonnada, Sri Puli Jaya, Dr Subba Tata Sape, Sudha Rani Barsingi
    Research Journal of Chemistry and Environment, 2025
    The present investigation is to study the B. monnieri crude methanol extract antibacterial and anticancer activities. Crude methanol extract showed very positive antibacterial activity on 6 different bacterial strains. Staphylococcus aureus has been identified as more sensitive than the other strains (Staphylococcus aureus>Enterococcus faecalis>Bacillus subtilis> Escherichia coli> Pseudomonas aeruginosa>Proteus vulgaris). Further, the crude methanol extract exhibited a promising anticancer activity and expressed considerable IC50 values (108.6 and 86.4μg/ml for MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231). These observations suggest that the medicinal plant B. monnieri can be used in antibacterial and anticancer studies.
  • In vitro Plant Regeneration from Mature Seed Explants of Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal, an Important, Rare and Endangered Medicinal Plant
    Sape Subba TATA, Geddam JYOTHIRMAYEE, Owk Aniel KUMAR
    Notulae Scientia Biologicae, 2019
    Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal a member of the Solanaceae family, is a traditional medicinal plant commonly known in India as Ashwagandha. It is used for different diseases such as hiccup, cough, rheumatism, tuberculosis, and exhibits excellent antitumor and anti-bacterial activities as well. Direct organogenesis of plants using mature seeds provides faster response and is also a time saving approach, thus the present study was conducted to investigate the optimal concentrations and combinations of plant growth regulators with MS medium for the establishment of an efficient regeneration system in W. somnifera using mature seed as an explant. Therefore, an efficient in vitro protocol for high frequency regeneration has been developed using mature seeds as explant. In the present study, the multiple shoots along with embryogenic callus induction was best seen in MS medium supplemented with BAP (1.5 mg/L) and IAA (0.5 mg/L). Furthermore, MS medium fortified with GA3 (0.3 mg/L) and IBA (3.0 mg/L) alone was suited for shoot elongation and rhizogenesis respectively. The rooted plantlets were hardened and successfully established in the soil. The establishment of a highly reproducible regeneration system would greatly influence the efforts of improvement of the hereby studied medicinal plant species through useful gene transfer technology.
  • Cytogenetics of a spontaneous fasciated stem mutant of chili pepper (Capsicum annuum L.)
    Owk Aniel Kumar, Sape Subba Tata, Kanda G. Raja Rao
    Cytologia, 2006
    A spontaneous fasciated mutant exhibiting broad-strap like stem with weak tall, irregular leaf arrangement, fewer branches, larger leaves and flowers which appear like a whorled “chrysanthemum” was isolated in a local cultivar of Capsicum annuum L. The mutant had delayed maturity. In general, an increase in the number, size and shape of the floral organs, except the size of the anthers was discernible in the mutant compared to those in the sibs. The mutant did display irregular meiotic behaviour of varying degrees, while meiosis was normal and regular in the sibs of the same population. The seed set was low. The fasciation was found to be governed by a single recessive gene. The fasciation has been transferred to different genetic back grounds. This is the first report on fasciated stem mutation in members of the chili pepper.
