Assessment of genetic stability in somatic embryo derived plantlets of Roxb. using inter-simple sequence repeat analysis.

An efficient plantlet regeneration protocol using immature zygotic embryos (IZEs) via somatic embryogenesis has been developed in Roxb. The regenerated plantlets were evaluated for their genetic stability. IZEs were incubated on Murashige and Skoog (MS) media augmented with 1.

Pterostilbene as a potential novel telomerase inhibitor: molecular docking studies and its in vitro evaluation.

Pterostilbene is a naturally occurring dimethyl ether analog of resveratrol identified in several plant species. Telomerase is important in tumor initiation and cellular immortalization. Given the striking correlations between telomerase activity and proliferation capacity in tumor cells, telomerase had been considered as a potentially important molecular target in cancer therapeutics.
