Aegle marmelos Corr. is better known for its medicinal values rather than its edible quality. Every part of the plant viz. leaves, fruits, roots, and the bark are used for treating various diseases related to heart, stomach, bacterial, fungal, viral, worms, fertility, fever and cosmetics. Marmelosin is one of the major compounds (coumarin), used to treat various diseases. Till date, there are no varieties developed for commercial orchards of Bael and hence, regarded as one among the underutilized fruits of India. Therefore, there is an urgent need for breeding new and cultivable varieties in Aegle marmelos. But the problem for …
Histological And Biochemical Changes In Aegle Marmelos Corr. Before And After Acclimatization, Rajesh Pati
Histological And Biochemical Changes In Aegle Marmelos Corr. Before And After Acclimatization, Rajesh Pati
Rajesh Pati
Maximum mortality of micropropagated plants occur during acclimatization phase because plantlets undergo rapid and extreme changes in physiological functioning, histological and biochemical changes. In order to investigate the actual reason of this limitation, test samples were collected at different stages of micropropagation of Aegle marmelos Corr. (In vitro stage, acclimation stage). The biochemical result showed that micropropagated plantlets produced significantly low total chlorophyll (0.042 mg/g fresh weight), reducing sugar (3.227%), NR activity (1.353 NO2/h/g fresh weight) and but higher protein (0.048 μg/g) during in vitro phase. The in vitro raised plants showed abnormal histological features like altered leaf mesophyll, absence …
