Publication date: Available online 26 February 2019Source: Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology B: BiologyAuthor(s): Huma Ali, Mubarak Ali Khan, Waqas Khan Kayani, Erum Dilshad, Rehana Rani, Raham Sher KhanAbstractAjuga bracteosa an important medicinal herb, is getting endangered worldwide due to destructive harvesting by pharmaceutical industries in its different habitats. It is in dire need for protection and demands conservation and sustainable utilization. In the present study, effects of α-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) under different spectral lights were estimated on the growth, secondary metabolism and biosynthesis of phenolic acids in adventitious roots (AR) cultures of A. bracteosa. Among the different spectral lights, highest AR induction frequency (88%) and formation of b...
