Abstract

In this review, we report on the different plant growth regulators (PGRs) affecting the callus induction, callus-mediated regeneration, organogenesis, somatic embryogenesis from different explants and micropropagation through shoot tip and nodal cultures in Turkey Berry (Solanum torvumSW). The fruits of this plant guard against liver and kidney damage, stop certain cancers, and regulate blood sugar levels. They benefit digestion, the management of gout and menstruation, the treatment of anaemia and diabetes, the prevention of intestinal worms, cardiovascular disorders, and strokes. The protocol developed for the induction of callus can be utilized to isolate pharmaceutically important secondary metabolites in S. torvum, and the regeneration protocols optimized in this study can be used for genetic transformation and conservation of S. torvum, not only as a medicinal plant but also a model system.
