Abstract
Salts Induced Salinity and in Vitro Multiplication of <i>Paronychia argentea</i>
Highlights
Medicinal plants have been considered as a significant basis of medication for many years
The microshoots were cultured on the Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with different concentration of 6-Benzylaminopurine (BAP), kinetin, or adenine at 0.0, 0.3, 0.6, 1.2, 1.8, or 2.0 mg/L. 80 mL of the medium was distributed into a 250 mL Duran flask
In vitro propagation showed that BAP, adenine, and kinetin have increased shoot formation of new microshoots (Table 1)
Summary
Medicinal plants have been considered as a significant basis of medication for many years. The practices of using medicinal plants are deeply rooted in Jordan culture and are considered highly valuable, being preserved and respected throughout all groups of people from high income to low income groups (Hung and Chi 2014). For better living conditions, modern medicines and functional food sources derived from medicinal plants are in high demand. Paronchia argentea is a wild medicinal plant that is commonly named (Rejelel AlHamama). It grows in uncultivated field margins and field borders (Braca et al, 2008). It consists of important secondary metabolites, which have been used in folk medicine (Atta et al 2013). The demand for P. argentea has increased, which requires improving mass production for P. argentea by in vitro propagation methods
