“Many people praise and acknowledge the healing power of plants, but few people actually take action to prevent their extension by planting and conserving them for future generations.” (Ernest Rukangira )

Study of Genetic Transformation of Medicinal Plants, Withania Somnifera (L.) Dunal By Agrobacterium Tumefaciens (MTCC-431

Genetic transformation of Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal was carried out using Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain MTCC-
431. Explants such as leaf, root and seeds were used for genetic transformation. MS basal medium supplemented with different combination of hormones tried for regeneration of plants from different explants. Twenty four hours infection period for seedling was found suitable for genetic transformation. Soaking of seed prior to infection period of 72 hours produces
80% germination which was comparatively higher than that of observed at 24 and 48 hours. Different concentration of growth hormones GA out of 2 mg/ml produces 60% germination in 7 days when seed are infected with 24 hours. Sucrose 3 concentration of 15 mg respond better compared to 9 and 12 mg supplemented in MS growth medium. Enzymes localization on native PAGE for perioxidase, catalase, amylse and superoxide dismutase reveals appearance of new isozymes variants in infected seedling. HPLC analysis of gibbrellic acid treated and infected seedling versus infected seedling without showed different chromatogram. Present study was undertaken to standardize protocol for genetic transformation in a important medicinal plant will be useful for the enhancement of increased production of bioactive metabolites.
Key words: Withania somnifera, Agrobacterium tumefaciens, HPLC, Isoenzyme

  1. Hello I'm cambell by name, I'm giving a testimony about Dr.Emmanuel the great Herbalist, he has the cure to all manner of diseases, he cured my herpes disease, though I went through different website I saw different testimonies about different spell casters and herbalist, I was like: 'Many people have the herpes cure why are people still suffering from it?' I though of it, then I contact Dr. Emmanuel via email, I didn't believe him that much, I just wanted to give him a try, he replied my mail and Needed some Information about me, then I sent them to him, he prepared it (CURE) and sent it to Airfreight Online Courier Service for delivery, he gave my details to the Courier Office, they told me that 3-5 days I will receive the package and i took the medicine as prescribed by him and I went for check-up 2 weeks after finishing the medicine, I was tested herpes negative, if you are herpes positive do me a favor for you to contact him and I will try my possible best to make sure you get cured, when you contact him, make sure you tell him that I referenced you.. contact him via: nativehealthclinic@gmail.com or WhatsApp +2348140073965
