Synergistic effects of melatonin and distinct spectral lights for enhanced production of anti-cancerous compounds in callus cultures of Fagonia indica

Publication date: Available online 10 October 2018Source: Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology B: BiologyAuthor(s): Taimoor Khan, Muhammad Asad Ullah, Laurine Garros, Christophe Hano, Bilal Haider AbbasiAbstractFagonia indica is one of the commercially vital medicinal plant species. It is well-known for biosynthesis of anticancer phenolics and flavonoids metabolites. The plant has been exploited for in vitro studies and production of vital phytochemicals, however, the synergistic effects of melatonin and lights remains to be investigated. In current study, we have evaluated the synergistic effects of melatonin and different light emitting diodes (LEDs) in callus cultures of F. indica. Both, light and melatonin play vital role in physiological and biochemical processes of plant cell. ...
